It's easy to forget about Jeremy Hellickson since he's gone from the Rays into the National League. But Hellickson is pitching his most consistent ball posting a 2.00 ERA, 0.81 WHIP in his last four starts spanning 27 innings in which he's fanned 28.
Hellickson has a 2.00 career ERA against the Brewers, too, in three starts and should be fresh after tossing just 79 pitches in his last last start this past Monday. That came against the Nationals in which he held Washington to one run in seven innings.
The Phillies' confidence should be up after they beat the Brewers and their best pitcher, Jimmy Nelson, 6-3 on Friday. That halted a seven-game Philadelphia losing streak.
Brewers starter Junior Guerra is a 31-year-old rookie who had been pitching above his head. But now he's coming off his first loss, a 6-0 loss to the Cardinals this past Monday.
