Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
The starting pitching match-up is in my opinion closer than it may appear. Milwaukee's starter Jimmy Nelson has recorded four straight quality starts, but he doesn't have great historical numbers against the Phillies' batters in limited plate appearances. Philadelphia starter Vince Velasquez got lit up at Wrigley Field in his latest, but that was on the road and at home he's been very sharp going 3-1 with a 0.74 earned run average in four starts. The Phillies' offense has generated greater than two runs just once in their last seven matches.
