Probable Pitchers
Brewers — LHP Chris Drohan
2026 Season: 7–5, 3.72 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
Profile: Strike‑throwing lefty with a strong changeup and improving slider
Strengths: Excellent vs right‑handed hitters; induces weak contact; good road numbers
Weaknesses: Vulnerable to left‑handed power; fastball can flatten when elevated
Matchup Note: Angels’ left‑handed bats (O’Hoppe as a righty, Schanuel, Moniak) have mixed results vs changeup‑heavy pitchers.
Angels — RHP Reid Johnson
2026 Season: 4–9, 4.66 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
Profile: Young right‑hander with a rising fastball and developing curveball
Strengths: Generates whiffs; strong vs right‑handed hitters
Weaknesses: HR‑prone; struggles vs disciplined lineups; command inconsistent
Matchup Note: Brewers’ left‑handed core (Yelich, Chourio as a switch‑hitter, Frelick) matches up well vs Johnson’s fastball profile.
