Angels at Brewers picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 4, Angels 3
Moneyline
BET BREWERS (-145).
Burnes should bounce back after an underwhelming start last time out. Milwaukee has played up to the level of its competition lately and is 5-0 in its last 5 home games vs. teams with a winning record. Los Angeles has not been a good road team recently and is just 2-6 in its last 8 away games.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
Los Angeles’ last 2 losses have both been by just 1 run. Angels +1.5 (-160) should hit, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Brewers moneyline is the better play. Bet Milwaukee moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 8.5 (-115).
The Under is 3-0-1 in Milwaukee’s last 4 games and 4-0 in its last 4 vs. left-handed starters.
The Under has hit in 5 of Los Angeles’ last 7 vs. right-handed pitching and should cash again Saturday with Burnes starting for the Brewers.
