ANAHEIM, Calif. (Interstat) -- The Milwaukee Brewers will try to complete a three-game sweep of the Angels on Sunday at Angel Stadium, where they have controlled the series with strong pitching and enough offense. Milwaukee enters with a 69-41 record and has won eight of its past 10. The Angels are 42-69 and have lost four straight after dropping Friday’s 6-2 decision and Saturday’s 3-1 game. Milwaukee has outscored Los Angeles 9-3 in the series. The Brewers list Jacob Misiorowski (11-4) and Walbert Ureña (6-7) as probable pitchers. Misiorowski has been Milwaukee’s most consistent starter, while Ureña has provided valuable innings. The forecast calls for clear skies and a game-time temperature of 89 degrees, so conditions should be comfortable at Angel Stadium. Robert Gasser is a player to watch for Milwaukee. The left-hander earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on four hits over five innings with six strikeouts. Gasser has won four of his past five starts, with his only loss coming July 12 at Pittsburgh. He likely will not pitch Sunday after starting Saturday, but his recent run has been a major boost for the Brewers. Chad Patrick and Trevor Megill also were key contributors in Saturday’s win. Patrick struck out five over two hitless innings, and Megill tossed a scoreless ninth to close out the victory. For Los Angeles, Brett Kerry is the player to watch. He took the loss Saturday despite allowing just one run on two hits over four innings, with three strikeouts. With the Angels’ bullpen taxed after the first two games, Kerry’s efficiency on Sunday could be important. Brent Suter threw two scoreless innings of relief Saturday, and Samy Natera Jr. allowed one run in two innings. The Angels will need similar work from their bullpen to avoid the sweep. According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final is Milwaukee 5, Los Angeles 3. Interstat’s ELO system gives the Brewers a 69.20 percent chance to win. Milwaukee is a 1.5-run favorite, and the over/under is 7.5. Milwaukee’s edge extends beyond the mound. The Brewers have been the more productive team at the plate in the series, getting timely hits while the Angels have struggled to sustain rallies. Milwaukee has also shown better depth, with role players stepping up in each of the first two games. After Sunday’s finale, the Brewers return home to open a four-game series against Pittsburgh on Monday. The Angels travel to Baltimore for a three-game series beginning Tuesday. With the Brewers chasing a strong finish and the Angels looking to stop their slide, Sunday’s series finale gives both teams something to prove. Milwaukee, however, enters as the clear favorite and will be expected to leave Anaheim with a sweep.
