The NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers (93‑59) look to complete the sweep of the Los Angeles Angels (69‑83) tonight at American Family Field.

The Brewers have clinched a playoff spot, but seek to stave off the Chicago Cubs, who’ve won four straight and remain five games behind in the divisional race.

The Angels, meanwhile, continue to sink deeper in the AL West basement, having lost six straight. Los Angeles, however, stands on the cusp of an important milestone: Mike Trout, a career-long Angel, sits at 399 home runs. He could hit his 400th tonight.

Tonight’s pitching matchup favors the Brewers, with Quinn Priester on the mound. The right-hander is 13-2 with a 3.25 ERA. He’s been steady as of late, with a 3-0 record and 3.20 ERA over his last seven starts. The lone bad outing in that stretch was in mid-August against the New York Mets, where he allowed six runs in 4.1 innings. Excluding that appearance, Quinn hasn’t allowed more than two runs in his last 10 starts.

Yusei Kikuchi gets the start for the Angels. He’s 6‑11 with a 4.08 ERA this season. After a strong spring, a rough summer has transitioned to an awful September for the left-hander from Japan. In his first two starts this month, he allowed 12 runs over 7.2 innings. But he rebounded last week against the surging Seattle Mariners, limiting them to just one run over six innings — a kind of dominant performance he showcased earlier in the year.

Prediction

The Brewers’ consistency on the mound and their depth at the plate should be too much for a slumping Angels team. Look for Milwaukee to finish the sweep.

Prediction: Brewers 4, Angels 2
