Brewers vs Phillies
Red-hot Philly bats seek to ground the bruised Brew Crew.

Brewers (29-28) VS Phillies (36-20)
31 May 2025 | 4:05 PM ET | Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies enter this matchup riding a 7-3 record in their last ten games, while the Milwaukee Brewers arrive having won five in a row. The Brewers remain shorthanded without key pitchers due to injuries, weakening both their rotation and bullpen depth. On the mound, Philadelphia’s starter has posted excellent numbers at home this season, which should help contain a Milwaukee offense that has struggled recently, scoring just nine runs across its last four games. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s top hitter has limited career success against Philadelphia’s starter, further tilting the advantage toward the home team.
With the Phillies continuing to build their lead in the NL East and the Brewers trying to stay competitive in the NL Central, every matchup carries postseason implications. The combination of Philadelphia's current momentum, home-field advantage, and Milwaukee’s injury concerns makes the Phillies a strong play despite the steeper price at –190. This matchup earns a solid B-grade, reflecting reliable value without quite reaching premium territory.

The Philadelphia Phillies, currently on a great run of form, host the Milwaukee Brewers, who have won five games in a row. Both teams' starting pitchers have effectively limited the opposing lineups in recent matchups, with each holding them below a .200 batting average over their last four meetings. Milwaukee's lineup is without a key outfielder due to injury, while Philadelphia is missing a significant contributor behind the plate. These absences, combined with the strong performances of both starting pitchers, suggest a potential low-scoring game.
Additionally, both bullpens have been performing well, with the Brewers posting a 2.78 ERA over their last seven games and the Phillies maintaining a 4.98 ERA in the same span. Considering the current form of the pitching staffs and the impact of missing players, betting on the total runs staying under 8.5 appears to be a solid strategy. While unforeseen factors like defensive errors could influence the game's outcome, the overall pitching strengths suggest a lower-scoring affair, making the under a confident mid-tier betting option.

The Philadelphia Phillies enter this matchup dropping their last two games, but have won seven of their last ten games, while the Milwaukee Brewers have won five straight games. The Phillies hold a clear momentum advantage, backed by their starting pitcher’s strong track record against Milwaukee, including a sub-2.00 ERA and high strikeout totals over recent meetings. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s bullpen remains thin due to injuries, lacking the stability of their usual late-inning options.
Even with Philadelphia missing a key offensive contributor, their lineup depth and recent power surge have propelled them to a league-best run differential. Milwaukee, on the other hand, continues to struggle offensively on the road, ranking near the bottom of the league in OPS away from home. With the Brewers’ offense leaning heavily on a few inconsistent bats and the Phillies’ ability to cover the run line in six of their last eight home games, laying the 1.5 runs offers stronger value. This play earns a confident B-grade for its combination of solid probability and fair return.
