Milwaukee Brewers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Brewers. Probably staying away, though. Peralta hasn’t been too bad over his last trio. He’s 2-1 in those three with seven earned runs in 15.0 total innings. As for Nola, he’s struggled in his last pair with 10 earned over 9.0 total frames.

On Tuesday the Brewers could only muster five team hits, and two of them belonged to Garrett Mitchell (RBI). The bullpen gave up two earned in 3.1 innings and Montas had a few stumbles. Milwaukee needs to regroup for Wednesday’s finale.
