Milwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies 4/22/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

Citizens Bank Park will play host to a Friday night MLB clash between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Brewers (8-5) have reeled off four straight victories and are locked in a virtual tie with St. Louis for first place in the NL Central Division. On Wednesday, Milwaukee SP Brandon Woodruff (2-1) took a no-hitter into the sixth inning of a 4-2 home victory versus Pittsburgh.

Twenty-five year old righty Freddy Peralta (0-1 11.57 ERA) will look to get on track for the Brewers. Last time out, Peralta was shelled for six runs and recorded just nine outs during a 10-1 home loss versus St. Louis.

The Philadelphia Phillies have split their first six home games and are currently sitting in last place in the NL East Division standings. On Wednesday, Philadelphia salvaged the final game of a series against Colorado with a 9-6 road victory. Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber, Johan Comargo, and Alec Bohm all homered for the Phillies.

The Phillies will turn to talented left-hander Ranger Suarez (1-0 5.87 ERA) in the series opener. In his last start, Suarez allowed two runs in five innings during a 10-3 road victory against Miami.
