Philadelphia PhilliesvsMilwaukee Brewers
The Philadelphia Phillies are heading into American Family Field tonight to take on the Milwaukee Brewers, who've been one of the better stories in baseball this year at 42-25 while the Phillies are a middling 37-32 and need a series win to keep pace in the NL East. Vegas has Milwaukee as a solid favorite at minus-143, so the books like the Brewers at home, and with that over-under sitting at 8 the oddsmakers are expecting some run-scoring — both bullpens have had their issues this month.
The Brewers have been grinding out wins in the heart of their schedule, so if the Phillies starter can't go deep and the manager goes to the pen too early, this one could get away from Philly fast. Bold prediction: Milwaukee walks this off in the eighth or ninth, and the Phillies fly home having dropped two of three.
