9/3 Phillies vs Brewers Picks, Predictions, and Stats

After a 10-8 win yesterday, the Phillies are back in Milwaukee to face the Brewers in what we think will be a high scoring game.

Both the Phillies and Brewers rank top 10 in runs scored per game, hits per game, on base percentage, and OPS. In his last 12 starts, Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola is 3-7 with a 6.47 Earned Runs Average and 1.5 WHIP. Brewers pitcher Jose Quintana is even worse this season, near the bottom of the league in xERA, xBA, and strikeout rate.

The wind is projected to be 12.8 MPH toward center field, giving us confidence in projecting this game going over 9.5 runs. The wind should help high slugging percentage hitters like Bryce Harper (.567 last 15 games) and William Contreras (.444 through his last 28 games against Nola).

Over 9.5 Runs +105 | Phillies Money Line -105 | Bryce Harper Over 0.5 Runs -125 | William Contreras Over 0.5 Runs +115
