When: Sunday, May 26th, 2019
Where: Miller Park,
Milwaukee, WI
Time: 2:10 ET | TV: MLB Network
Opening Odds: Milwaukee -162/9.5
The Philadelphia Phillies and Milwaukee Brewers will wrap-up their season series on Sunday afternoon and the road team has dominated, taking five of the first six meetings. The Phillies go for the three-game sweep against the reeling Brewers as Zach Eflin opposes Brandon Woodruff on MLB Network. Philadelphia’s offense is heating up and it starts at the top with the red-hot Andrew McCutchen, who is 12-for-29 – including two home runs – and nine RBIs during a seven-game hitting streak after helping the Phillies win 7-2 on Saturday. Second in the batting order is Jean Segura, who is riding a 16-game hitting streak (23-for-67), making he and McCutchen a dangerous 1-2 punch at the top of the order. Cleanup man Rhys Hoskins is 7-for-14 with two home runs and five RBIs in the past four games for a Philadelphia team that increased their lead in the NL East to 2.5 games over Atlanta after Saturday’s triumph and the Braves’ loss to St. Louis. Milwaukee has dropped five of their last seven contests overall to drop 2.5 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. The Brewers recorded just five hits Saturday, but Mike Moustakas had two of them including a solo homer to improve to 6-for-12 in his last three games. Christian Yelich is just 3-for-18 in his last five games, but still leads the majors with 20 dingers.
Pitchers: Phillies – Zach Eflin (5-4, 2.76 ERA) | Brewers – Brandon Woodruff (6-1, 3.51)
Eflin has surrendered one run or less in four of his last five starts with the outlier being May 16th against the Brewers when he was tagged for seven hits and four runs over five innings of an 11-3 loss in Philadelphia. The righty limited the Cubs to one run over six innings last time out, but the Phillies lost that game 3-2. Eflin has not given up more than three runs in seven of his 10 starts overall and holds a 3.18 ERA on the road.

Woodruff has been just as hot – if not hotter – than Eflin lately. The righty has surrendered two runs or less in five straight with Milwaukee winning all of those contests. Woodruff is coming off a no-decision in his last outing May 19th versus Atlanta, holding them to two runs over a season-high eight innings. Woodruff has not allowed an earned run in 10 career innings versus the Phillies.
This appears to be a good pitching matchup, but the Phillies’ offense is getting hot and the Brewers knocked around Eflin about 10 days ago. With the way both teams are going, laying 160 is not a smart idea. The Phillies can easily win this game and I’ll take +150 on them any day of the week.
