Philadelphia Phillies vs Milwaukee Brewers: Brewers to break losing streak in Philly

Philadelphia is off to a poor start to the 2022 championship and now needs a win over a powerful Milwaukee. Will the Phillies be able to handle the Brewers? Let's pick a few options to bet on at once.

Philadelphia is the penultimate team in the National League

The Phillies have failed so far in their start to the 2022 championship. The team from Pennsylvania has only won the opening series of the season at home against Oakland, 9-5, 4-2, 1-4. And then they lost all of their confrontations. First at home, the Phillies lost to the New York Mets, 5-4, 0-2, 6-9. Then gave up three of four away games to Miami: 3-4, 1-7, 10-3, 3-11. Finally, an unsuccessful visit to face the Colorado Rockies, 1-4, 5-6, 9-6. With a 5-8 balance, Philadelphia is currently ahead of only Cincinnati in the National League standings.

The pitcher for the Phillies in the upcoming game will be Ranger Suarez, a 26-year-old lefty from Venezuela. In two starts in the new season, the pitcher has allowed five runs in 7.2 innings against the New York Mets (5-4) and Miami (10-3).

Milwaukee won seven of the last nine games

After starting the season with a disappointing outing to the Chicago Cubs (4-5, 0-9, 5-4), the Brewers first handled Baltimore (0-2, 5-4, 4-2) on the road. Then they tied with their main division rival, the St. Louis Cardinals (5-1, 1-10, 1-2, 6-5). And they went 6-1, 5-2, 4-2 at home against Pittsburgh (6-1, 5-2, 4-2). With an 8-5 balance, Milwaukee is second in the National League Central Division, still trailing St. Louis, which is 7-4.

Freddy Peralta has been named starting pitcher for the Brewers in the upcoming meeting. The 25-year-old Dominican has had a poor start to the championship, allowing nine runs in seven innings against the Chicago Cubs (5-4) and St. Louis (1-10).

Head-to-head encounters

Last season, Philadelphia beat Milwaukee in 5 out of 7 games, including all 4 games at home.

Expert Betting Tips

At the start of the championship, Philadelphia does not look like a team that is able to win consistently at all yet. Milwaukee, on the contrary, look very confident after losing the first series of the season to the Chicago Cubs. So, despite the disappointing meeting statistics in Philadelphia last season, the Brewers are definitely capable of winning the upcoming game. Especially starting pitcher Freddy Peralta, who failed his last game against St. Louis, needs it badly.

Prediction: a win for Milwaukee.
