A pair of the best teams in the National League begin a three-game series at Citizens Bank Field on Tuesday, Sept. 22, with the Philadelphia Phillies as 57% home favorites over the Milwaukee Brewers tonight.
My top Brewers vs. Phillies predictions and MLB picks expect Philly stars Zack Wheeler and Bryce Harper to lead the way to a series-opening win.
Who will win Brewers vs Phillies today: Phillies moneyline
For help understanding probabilities, see our odds calculator.
With the Milwaukee Brewers sending Dustin May to the hill on short rest, I like the Philadelphia Phillies moneyline to 60%.
May recorded just seven outs in Friday’s start, and he’s up to a massive 6.91 xERA and 4.42 xFIP across his last six outings. The righty has negative pitch values on his four most frequent offerings, and the struggles align with May passing his prior career high in innings pitched.
Of course, the Phillies are countering with veteran Zack Wheeler, and he’s been fantastic down the stretch.
He’s scattered three runs across his past four starts for a rock-solid 2.63 xERA and 3.30 xFIP that are largely in line with his elite 2.98 and 3.12 year-long marks.
COVERS INTEL: Wheeler has surrendered the seventh-lowest xwOBA to opposing hitters while also ranking 10th in xFIP.
Brewers vs Phillies Over/Under pick: Over 7.5
This Over 7.5 is in play to 55% because while Wheeler has been exceptional, the Brewers also send a well-rounded lineup to the plate.
Milwaukee is second in the majors in wOBA against righties for the season, and the Brew Crew also rank second in overall wOBA and seventh in xwOBA over the past 30 days.
So, with the Philadelphia offense set up to put runs on the board against May, I anticipate Milwaukee also chipping in enough to send this total Over the number.
Brewers vs Phillies home run prediction: Bryce Harper
Phillies star Bryce Harper has a single homer across his past 22 games despite a solid 25-for-85 run at the dish, and he also paces the team with an elite .298 ISO against righties.
This is a favorable matchup with May struggling and allowing a healthy 36.7% hard-hit rate to left-handed hitters during the noted six-start stretch, too.
