Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Angels (2026-08-02). Jacob Misiorowski vs Walbert Ureña at Angel Stadium.

Starters — Misiorowski has been dominant with a 1.58 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and 120 innings, backed by elite swing-and-miss stuff at 13.88 K/9. His control has also held up well at 2.1 BB/9, and he has allowed 0.75 HR/9. Over his last three starts, he has gone 5 innings with 1 earned run and 12 strikeouts, 4 scoreless innings with 6 strikeouts, and 7 innings with 3 earned runs and 11 strikeouts. The trend is down, but the strikeout volume remains a major betting angle. Ureña enters with a 2.70 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 93.1 innings. He has posted 8.49 K/9, but the 4.73 BB/9 is the clear risk point despite a strong 0.58 HR/9. In his last three starts, he worked 6 innings with 1 earned run, 6 innings with 1 earned run, and 4 scoreless innings despite issuing 5 walks. His trend is also down, though recent run prevention has been steady.

Teams — Milwaukee brings the stronger overall offensive profile with a .737 OPS, .254 average, and 555 runs scored. The Brewers also pair that with a quality pitching base, carrying a 3.48 team ERA and 1.17 WHIP, and they are 6-4 over their last 10 games. Los Angeles has a .697 OPS, .238 average, and 467 runs, so the lineup has been less productive by a noticeable margin. The Angels’ staff has also been less reliable overall with a 4.54 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, and their 2-8 record over the last 10 games points to weaker recent form. From a matchup perspective, Milwaukee shows the cleaner edge in both season-long run creation and full-staff prevention, while Los Angeles leans more heavily on Ureña keeping traffic manageable.
