The Milwaukee Brewers (43-30) close out their 3-game road series against the Los Angeles Angels (29-44) on Wednesday. First pitch of the series finale is at 9:38 p.m. ET at Angel Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Brewers vs. Angels odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Tied 1-1
The Brewers rebounded from Monday’s series-opening 5-3 loss as -123 favorites with a 6-3 victory Tuesday as -134 faves. Brewers CF Sal Frelick robbed Angels LF Taylor Ward of a game-tying home run with a leaping catch in center field for the final out.
Milwaukee built a 6-0 lead after 5½ innings — LF Christian Yelich hit his 200th career homer in the 1st inning. SP Tobias Myers only allowed 4 hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings, but the Angels rallied against the Brewers bullpen. L.A. scored 3 times in the bottom of the 9th and had 2 runners on before Frelick’s game-saving catch.
Milwaukee has won 3 of its last 4 and 7 of its last 11, while Los Angeles has also won 3 of 4. The Angels are 8-6 in their last 14 games, the best 14-game stretch they have had this season.
