Phillies vs Brewers Prediction
The Phillies are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have been playing much better in their recent games ever since firing their manager Joe Girardi and the team looks like it has life in it once again. They are coming into this game really heating up recently off of a sweep in their last series and they are going up against a Brewers team that just lost a 4-game series on the weekend. They have not been scoring a lot of runs in their games and their pitching has also been bad recently as well. Houser is starting for the Brewers here and he is coming off of a good start but he has been inconsistent this season and when he gets blown up he tends to give up a lot of runs. That is dangerous against a Phillies team that has been heating up here and they have a solid starter in Nola for this game. The best bet here is on the Phillies to win this game until they start to die down.
