The Angels made a late lineup change before Wednesday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, scratching veteran infielder Brandon Drury due to an illness.

Drury is 1-for-6 with a walk since returning from the injured list Monday, but he'll be sidelined once again as he fights off the illness. Luis Guillorme will instead start at second base and bat ninth against Milwaukee right-hander Freddy Peralta.

Predictions

Freddy Peralta takes the mound for the Brewers with a 4-4 record and a 4.38 ERA, while Tyler Anderson will start for the Angels, carrying a 6-6 record and a 2.58 ERA. Despite Anderson's better ERA, the Brewers' recent offensive surge suggests they might put up significant runs. Peralta’s inconsistency, especially on the road, also points to a potentially high-scoring game. Expect the bullpens to decide this one.
