The Milwaukee Brewers look to further their lead in the National League Central on Wednesday when they wrap up their series in Los Angeles against the Angels.
Milwaukee Brewers (-162, 8) vs. Los Angeles Angels
Tyler Anderson gets the start at pitcher for the Angels, who’s run of allowing exactly one run in five of his last six starts with a 2.58 ERA overall this season seems due for regression.
Anderson’s fielding independent is more than two points higher than his ERA at 4.69 as he’s allowing 3.9 walks per nine innings while getting only six strikeouts per nine innings.
Though the Brewers are not quite as effective at the plate against left-handed pitching as they are against right-handers, leading the league with a .336 on-base percentage against right-handed pitching compared to a .308 on-base percentage against south paws, the team entered Tuesday seventh in the league in scoring with over 4.8 runs per game.
The Angels bullpen has also had toms of issues with their 5.44 ERA entering Tuesday ranking 29th of the 30 MLB teams as the offense looks to provide support by getting to Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta.
Peralta enters in bad form, having allowed at least three runs in each of his past three starts and overall this season has a 4.38 ERA with 1.3 home runs and 3.1 walks per nine innings allowed.
The Angels have heated up at the plate with at least four runs in seven of their last eight games entering Tuesday and with regression overdue for Anderson, Wednesday’s game has the makings of a hit parade.
