Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Angels preview
The Brewers are riding high at 91-59 and chasing a division title, while the Angels at 69-81 are simply trying to finish the season with some dignity intact.
Milwaukee's offense has been a force all year, ranking third in MLB with 5.08 runs per game and posting a solid .333 team OBP, compared to the Angels' anemic .228 batting average and 23rd-ranked scoring offense.
Brandon Woodruff takes the mound for Milwaukee with impressive career numbers (52-28, 3.12 ERA) and excellent control, boasting a 4.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio that should give the Angels' struggling lineup fits.
Jose Soriano counters for Los Angeles, and while his 3.83 ERA looks respectable, he'll face a Brewers offense that's been clicking all season long at American Family Field.
The pitching matchup heavily favors Milwaukee, with Woodruff's 1.039 WHIP and stellar command going against an Angels team that's struck out 1,496 times this season.
With the Brewers' bullpen sitting fifth in save percentage at 68.9% compared to the Angels' woeful 51.5%, Milwaukee should have the late-game advantage if this one stays close.
