Let’s check out BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds for the Phillies vs Brewers Opportunities and place your best bets with our expert MLB tips and predictions.

Season series: Phillies lead 3-1

The Phillies beat the Brewers by a small margin in three games at Citizen Bank Park from June 3-5. However, Milwaukee turned the tables and won the series opener 6-2 on Monday as slight underdogs (-102) as it was simply a terrible night for Philadelphia’s professional sports teams and fans. The total (8) was depressing in most stores.

Despite the loss, Philadelphia is still 5-2 in their last 7 games, although the Phillies have lost 3 in a row on the road. The over is 6-3-1 in their last 10 games with Philadelphia averaging 4.9 runs per game (RPG) and allowing 5.0 RPG.

Milwaukee has picked up the pace with 4 wins in their last 5 games and is 4-0 as an underdog in their last 4 games. The over is 2-0-1 in their last 3 games.

Tips and predictions for the Phillies at the Brewers

forecast

Phillies 4, Brewers 2

Money line

The PHILLIES (-150) are a strong bet as moderate favorites behind the dominant Wheeler, looking for a little revenge after being knocked off the field in the series’ opening game.

Although Montas has performed slightly better for the Brewers (+125) since arriving from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline, he can’t hold a candle to the 15-game winner.

Running Line/Against the Spread

If you are a little more adventurous, consider PHILLIES -1.5 (+115) on the run line instead of playing the money line.

Philadelphia has won 8 of its last 12 games, 5 of which have been as a run line favorite. And in Wheeler’s last 3 starts, the Phillies have outscored opponents 22-4, which is something.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-120) is worth a look in this middle game of the set.

In 4 of Wheeler’s last 5 starts the point total has been low, while the result in the team’s last 7 games is 3-3-1.

For Brew Crew the point total has been low at 7-3-1 in their last 11 games and Montas’s last 5 games have been low point totals.
