Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies here. I originally liked the matchup for the Phils before DL Hall was put in for Milwaukee, but in what’s a pseudo-bullpen game for the Brewers, I think Philadelphia gets back on track here. Walker’s numbers this season have been better at home, and I think he finds a way to lead the Phillies behind the bats to get the win here.
