Milwaukee Brewers vs Los Angeles Angels

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Angels (2026-08-01). Robert Gasser vs José Soriano at Angel Stadium.

Starters — Robert Gasser has a 4.71 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 57.1 innings, with 8.16 K/9, 2.2 BB/9, and 1.73 HR/9. His last three starts were mixed: 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 4 K, 0 BB; 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 0 BB; and 3.0 IP, 7 ER, 3 K, 0 BB. The control is strong, but the home run rate remains a clear risk, and the recent form still carries some volatility. José Soriano enters with a 3.29 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 123 innings, posting 9.29 K/9, 4.17 BB/9, and 0.88 HR/9. His last three starts were 5.0 IP, 0 ER, 5 K, 3 BB; 7.0 IP, 2 ER, 7 K, 1 BB; and 5.0 IP, 3 ER, 0 K, 2 BB. Soriano has been the steadier run suppressor, with better swing-and-miss and much lower home run damage, though the walk rate can create pressure.

Teams — Milwaukee brings the stronger offensive profile with a .739 OPS, .255 average, and 552 runs scored. The Brewers also back that up with a 3.50 team ERA and 1.17 WHIP, plus a 6-4 record over their last 10 games. Los Angeles has a .699 OPS, .238 average, and 466 runs, so the lineup has been less productive overall. On the pitching side, the Angels carry a 4.55 team ERA and 1.37 WHIP, and they are 3-7 over their last 10, which points to weaker recent form on both the mound and in results.
