Brewers at Phillies 6/8/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions
Citizens Bank Park will play host to a Friday night clash between the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies. The Brewers have lost three straight games and have scored just four runs total over that stretch. Milwaukee ranks 6th in the majors in team ERA and leads Chicago by a half-game for the NL Central Division lead.
Hard-throwing righty Vince Velasquez (4-6 3.82 EA) will get the nod for the Phillies in the series opener. Philadelphia has lost each of Velasquez’s last three starts and he has given up four runs over his last 16 plus frames.
Betting Trends for vs
Philadelphia 1B/OF Rhys Hoskins (mouth) expects to return from the disabled list for this game. Through 63 games, Milwaukee ranks 15th in batting average and 18th in runs scored. For the season, Philadelphia ranks 26th in batting average and 22nd in runs scored. Two struggling offenses and two solid pitching staffs leads me to believe that the under is the play on Friday. Final Score Prediction, Philadelphia Phillies win 3-2.
