The Phillies are coming into this game with a 26-29 record overall and they are 11-14 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 5 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 completing the sweep, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Brewers on Thursday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Thursday with the 2nd game still to be played on Wednesday. Aaron Nola is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Zach Eflin will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 2-4 with a 3.88 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 0 ER, 0 HRs, and 1 BB with 6 Ks on 5 hits in 8 IP against the Los Angeles Angels. They scored 26 runs in their last series averaging just under 9 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 9 runs against them averaging 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Brewers are coming into this game with a 33-24 record overall and they are 15-10 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 6 of their last 7 games and are coming into this one on a 4 game losing streak. They just lost their 4-game series against the San Diego Padres 3-1, had Monday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series finale of a 3-game series with the Phillies on Thursday. This will be the 3rd game of the series on Thursday with the 2nd game still to be played on Wednesday. Adrian Houser is the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while Corbin Burnes will be on the mound for them here on Thursday. He is 3-3 with a 2.50 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 5 earned runs, 1 homer, and 2 BB with 6 strikeouts on 8 hits in 3.2 innings played against the San Diego Padres. They scored 9 runs in their last series averaging just over 2 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 21 runs against them averaging just over 5 runs allowed per game.

 

The Brewers are coming into this game as a favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing well recently and their bats have been really cold as well as they are not scoring a lot of runs in their games. They just lost a very close game at home in the first of this series and they will be hungry to bounce back, luckily they have a good pitching matchup here and may not need their bats to get hot to win this game. Burnes is starting here and he has been very good all season as he is the ace of the Brewers here. He has been very reliable and the Phillies are bound to start dying down after their little surge recently. They already showed their inability to score with guys on base in the series opener here and they will likely struggle to score runs on Burnes as well. Eflin is starting for the Phillies here and he has been alright this season but he has not been great on the road and the Brewers will likely break out in this game with the way he has been pitching on the road recently. The best bet here is on the Brewers to win this game.
