Brewers vs Phillies prediction
My Brewers vs Phillies best bet: Phillies moneyline (-142 at FanDuel)
The Milwaukee Brewers lineup has taken a significant step back, creating a favorable position for the Philadelphia Phillies in this matchup. The Brewers rank in the Bottom 8 of the league in hits per game, batting average, slugging percentage, and OPS.
Meanwhile, the Phillies rank in the Top 7 in each of those four categories.
Not only does Philadelphia have the hitting advantage, but it also owns the pitching edge. Right-hander Taijuan Walker takes the mound for the Phillies and looks to continue his strong start to the season.
Through nine appearances, Walker owns a 2.97 ERA and ranks in the 85th percentile in barrel rate.
On the other side, DL Hall gets the start for Milwaukee.
Hall makes just his second appearance and first start of the year after authoring a 5.02 ERA as a swingman 2024. He's unlikely to pitch deep into this game, meaning lots of work for the 23rd-ranked bullpen in the majors by ERA (4.55).

He has recorded 16 hits over his past 11 games, posting a .390 batting average during that stretch.
