Brewers vs Phillies Prediction
Nola has been riding the struggle bus lately, allowing 38 hits and 25 earned runs in his last 29 innings. In 31 road innings, Nola has a 6.39 ERA and .279 allowed batting average. Quintana has pitched well overall this season, but through 51.2 home innings he has a 5.50 ERA and .248 allowed batting average. Two capable lineups and two pitchers who have had issues in these particular spots. I expect some offense in this contest. Give me the over on Wednesday night.
