Philadelphia Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this series leading their divisions, but the Phillies have been one of the best teams in the MLB over the last two weeks. The Phillies are 38-33 on the road, while the Brewers are 42-29 at home this year. Philadelphia plays their best baseball at home, but they have been solid on the road. The Phillies are starting Ranger Suarez, who has been pretty good this season but has struggled recently. The Brewers are going with Civale, who has been up and down this year but has been pretty good lately. Milwaukee has been solid at home all season and I don’t trust Suarez right now, so give me the Brewers here.
