The Milwaukee Brewers will look to even their series as road favorites over the Philadelphia Phillies ahead of the 6:40 p.m. ET first pitch at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

Postseason seeding is still at a premium for both teams, so my top Brewers vs. Phillies predictions and MLB picks call for Milwaukee capitalizing on its advantage on the mound and at the dish tonight.

There’s still plenty of postseason positioning at stake for both the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies, and the Brew Crew have an edge on the mound and at the plate Wednesday.

Milwaukee could opt to be conservative with starter Logan Henderson’s pitch count, but a first-round bye has already been clinched, so I’m expecting another strong start from the righty considering he’s spun an elite 2.80 xERA and 3.33 xFIP across his past eight starts.

Philly veteran Aaron Nola has also impressed down the stretch, but his 3.69 xERA and 3.78 xFIP are well above his 2.10 ERA across his past 10 outings, and the Brewers are second in the majors in wOBA against righties while ranking third in the metric and seventh in xwOBA across the past 30 days.

The Philadelphia offense hasn’t been nearly as potent, with the Phillies ranking 25th in wOBA against right-handed arms, alongside a 29th-ranked overall mark and 15th-ranked xwOBA over the past 30 days.

As a result, I recommend the Milwaukee moneyline to 60%.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Milwaukee Brewers rank third in wOBA and fifth in xwOBA, which positions their lineup to deliver Philadelphia Phillies righty Aaron Nola his pending splash of statistical correction tonight.

Brewers vs Phillies Over/Under pick: Over 7.5

Even with the wind forecast to be blowing at a 15-mph clip in from center at Citizens Bank Park tonight, and the Philly offense struggling in the advanced metrics of late, I expect this total to go Over the number tonight. 

Philadelphia has scored 4.7 runs per game across the past two weeks, and Milwaukee has been even better with 6.5 per game

Additionally, both teams have trended to the Over, so I’d recommend it to 51.5%.

The Brewers have gone Over the number in 15 of their last 25 games (+6.25 Units / 23% ROI), and the Phillies have hit the Over in 16 of their last 25 games at home (+8.50 Units / 31% ROI).

Brewers vs Phillies home run prediction: William Contreras

Milwaukee veteran William Contreras has a high-end .882 OPS with a homer across 34 plate appearances against Nola. Of course, the Philly righty has also served up 14 homers with a .225 ISO to right-handed hitters.

Brewers vs Phillies weather

The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies this evening at Citizens Bank Park with temperatures around 65°F. A 15 mph westerly breeze blowing in from center field will put hitters at a potential disadvantage.
