AI Analysis
Jacob Misiorowski is the best starter on today's entire slate — ERA 1.58, WHIP 0.75, 185 K in 120.0 IP, 11-4. That is an elite, dominant performance. Milwaukee is the best team in this game (69-41, .627) against the Angels (42-69, .378), one of the worst records in baseball. LA is on a 5-game losing streak with a cold offense (3.0 R/G L5). Ureña (ERA 2.70) keeps this from being a complete blowout in projections, but Misiorowski's dominance combined with Milwaukee's superior team quality and the Angels' deep struggles creates an overwhelming edge. The -238 price is significant negative value, but the quality edge is undeniable.
Concerns

- •Ureña ERA 2.70 is legitimately good — LAA pitching matchup holds up
- •Mike Trout 🔥 (.292 L14, OPS .848) is a danger bat
- •MIL several cold bats: Contreras, Chourio, Vaughn all ❄️
