This is a 9* on MILWAUKEE

Milwaukee is looking to avoid the sweep today as they have lost three straight one run games here in Philadelphia. Losing three in a row is always going to be frustrating, but when you outhit the opponent in all three games and still go 0-3, that’s REALLY frustrating. Such is the case here for the Brewers, who have 25 hits to the Phillies’ 18 in the three games. They actually doubled them up in hits Wednesday, 8-4, but one of Philly’s hits was a grand slam and that held up in a 5-4 triumph. Milwaukee has now lost four in a row overall, but we like who they are sending out today as Brandon Woodruff has a 1.80 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in six starts. He’s 2-0 while the team is 5-1 in those six starts. The last five have all been quality and seen Woodruff allow only three total runs in 31 innings of work. Four times he’s allowed three hits or less while going six or more innings. This is a red hot pitcher we’re getting at a really short price. Even better is that Woodruff is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA in three previous turns against the Phillies. We look for Milwaukee to improve upon its awful 7 of 33 hitting with runners in scoring position this series. Zack Wheeler gets the start for the Phillies and only has a 2-4 TSR and there have been some starts where he’s given up plenty of hits. Play on MILWAUKEE
