The Philadelphia Phillies are coming into this series riding a four-game winning streak, but they are 0-3 in left-hander Ranger Suarez (4-3, 4.69 ERA) last three starts. Suarez gave up 10 runs on 16 hits over 11 2/3 frames in those games. I think Suarez will get hit hard and early here against a hungry Brewers team coming off a reverse sweep against the Padres.

The Brewers hand the ball to right-hander Jason Alexander (0-0, 2.57 ERA) who will make his second big league start. Alexander was solid in his debut last Wednesday against the Cubs, giving up only two earned runs in seven innings.

Phillies are 0-5 in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Brewers are 6-1 in their last 7 during game 1 of a series.

8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BREWERS.
