Philadelphia Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
The Milwaukee Brewers and plus money is attractive given the way they’re playing right now, and you can do a lot worse than Colin Rea. However, the Phillies have been even more trustworthy and Cristopher Sanchez has quietly been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Coming off a fabulous month of May, Sanchez has an ERA under 3 on the season and is getting a ton of ground balls. I like the Phillies with Sanchez on the mound. Give me the Phillies.
