<p>
The Milwaukee Brewers are off to a hot start to this season, and coming off a series victory over the division-rival Cubs, heading into the opener of a three-game interleague series at the Los Angeles Angels Monday night. Which way are we leaning with our free MLB pick for Monday?
</p>
<h2>
MLB Betting Odds<br />
</h2>
<p>
Monday's MLB betting odds opened Milwaukee and Chacin at around -110 over Los Angeles and Cahill, with an over/under of 8.5 runs. Early betting action then bumped that total to nine runs.
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee could also be found getting around +140 giving the run and a half on the MLB run line.
</p>
<h2>
Brewers vs. Angels Set-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Milwaukee just took two of three games at home from the Cubs over the weekend, winning Sunday's series rubber match 4-2. So the Brewers are 3-0 in series this season.
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee is also 7-1 over its last eight games.
</p>
<p>
Los Angeles, meanwhile, just took three of four games from rival Texas over the weekend, winning Sunday's series finale 7-2. So the Angels are 1-2 in series this season.
</p>
<p>
LA owns a three-game winning streak, after losing five straight.
</p>
<p>
These teams last met three seasons ago when the Brewers took two of three games from the Angels at Miller Park. But that's already a long time ago.

<h2>
Monday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
New Angel Cahill (0-1, 3.75) is one-for-two on quality starts this season. First, he allowed four runs on six hits through six innings of a 4-0 loss to Oakland. But last Tuesday he held Seattle to one run on three hits through six innings, although the Angels lost that game 2-1.
</p>
<p>
Last year, pitching for the A's, Cahill finished 7/20 on quality starts. Oakland finished 12-8 with Cahill previous year, with the overs going 11-7-2.
</p>
<p>
This will be Cahill's first start against Milwaukee since 2016 when he was with the Cubs.
</p>
<p>
Former Angel Chacin (2-0, 4.22) is 0/2 on quality starts this season, but the Brewers are 2-0 with him. First he gave up three runs and three hits through 5 1/3 innings of a 5-4 Milwaukee victory over St. Louis, and last Tuesday he gave up two runs and three hits through 5 1/3 innings of a 4-3 Brewers win over Cincinnati.
</p>
<p>
Last year Chacin only finished 10/35 on quality starts, but most of that had to do with a short leash. Milwaukee ended 23-12 with him, with the unders going 19-16.
</p>
<p>
This will be Chacin's first start against the Angels since 2010 when he was with Colorado.
</p>
<h2>
Monday's Batting Splits<br />
</h2>
<p>
Milwaukee is hitting .240/.333/.436 against right-handed pitching this season. The Brewers also get to add a DH to the lineup for this series.
</p>
<p>
Los Angeles is hitting .221/.295/.358 against RH pitching this season.
</p>
<h2>
The Bullpens<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Brewers bullpen, which was so good last season, has allowed 21 runs on 31 hits and 15 walks through 38 2/3 innings of work this season. Also, new closer Josh Hader recorded an eight-out save Sunday, so his availability for Monday is iffy.
</p>
<p>
The Angels bullpen has been super so far this season, allowing just six ER on 24 hits and 12 walks through 35 1/3 innings.
</p>
<h2>
