At the time of this writing, the following Match Odds/Moneyline were available: Philadelphia Phillies (1.75, -133) and Milwaukee Brewers (2.28, +128)
Phillies' Hamels is 11-5 as a road favorite, while the Brewers are 3-7 in Narveson’s last 10 outings as an underdog.
Philadelphia is coming off a three-game home sweep of the Atlanta Braves, a team that is likely to make the NL playoffs as the Wild Card, and now will head off to play a four-game series against the current NL Central leaders. The Phillies now hold a commanding 10 1/2-game lead in their division, but last night’s 3-2 victory may have come with a price. Star second baseman Chase Utley left the contest with a possible concussion. “We think it’s very, very, mild, but we’re going to be cautious with him,” stated Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. The club is a dominating 41-23 against teams with a winning record this year.
Phillies starting pitcher Cole Hamels is 13-7 with a 2.63 ERA in 27 starts this season and the club has alternated wins and losses over his last four outings. He is coming off a no-decision effort in a 8-4 road loss to the Florida Marlins, giving up three runs and four hits over seven frames. Hamels has tallied a solid 6-2 mark and 2.81 ERA in 13 road starts, issuing just 18 walks and registering 83 strikeouts in 89 2/3 innings. In eight lifetime outings versus the Brewers, the left-hander is 4-2 with a 3.66 ERA, including an even 1-1 mark and 5.00 ERA in four starts at Miller Park.
