The Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies meet Friday in MLB action at Citizens Bank Park. The Milwaukee Brewers look to build on their four-game winning streak. The Philadelphia Phillies need a win after losing seven of their last nine games.
The Milwaukee Brewers have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Brewers have won eight straight games when scoring four or more runs. Andrew McCutchen leads the Brewers with 11 hits and 5 RBI, while Rowdy Tellez and Hunter Renfroe have combined for 20 hits and 11 RBI. Freddy Peralta gets the ball, and he is 0-1 with an 11.57 ERA and 10 strikeouts this season. Peralta is 0-2 with a 5.93 ERA and 20 strikeouts in his career against the Phillies.
The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 15 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last eight games. The Phillies are 5-2 this season when scoring four or more runs. Nick Castellanos leads the Phillies with 15 hits and 7 RBI, while J.T. Realmuto and Johan Camargo have combined for 27 hits and 7 RBI. Ranger Suarez gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 5.87 ERA and 5 strikeouts this season. This will be Suarez’s first career game against the Brewers.
The Brewers are 4-12 in their last 16 road games and 4-0 in their last 4 overall. The Phillies are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games. The under is 6-2-2 in Brewers last 10 overall. The under is 6-2 in Phillies last 8 overall. The Brewers are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Philadelphia and 2-5 in the last 7 meetings.
Peralta is off to a rough start through seven innings, but we’re not going to ignore what he did last year and assume he forgot how to pitch. Peralta will get it together, and we can take advantage of the favorable prices until then. The Philadelphia Phillies have underachieved up to this point, and let’s not act like Suarez is lighting the world on fire. Suarez has been up and down his whole career and isn’t somebody I want to back in the favorite role. I’ll gladly take the Brewers and the even money.
