Phillies vs Brewers Prediction 

Milwaukee comes into this series looking for its fifth straight win, but its last two did come in extra innings against Boston. The Brewers are 11-18 on the road this year, while the Phillies are 19-9 at home. Philadelphia has been one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the last two weeks, and they are starting Walker, who has pitched pretty well in his last two starts. The Brewers are starting Priester, who has allowed one earned run in three of his last four outings. I do like how Priester has looked recently, but we are getting a Philadelphia team that has been elite at home at a decent price. Take the Phillies here.
