Result: Loss
Total: 8.00 | -115.00 Over
Result: Loss
The set-up: Both of these teams can struggle to put runs on the board at times and that was certainly the case again in the Phillies 4-1 win yesterday. With Philadelphia sending its ace Aaron Nola to the hill and with the Brewers countering with the improving Chase Anderson, I fully expect runs to be at a premium again this afternoon.
The pitchers: Nola is so far 8-2 with a 2.27 ERA. Nola most recently struck out ten and gave up one run over seven innings in a victory over the Rockies on Tuesday. To go along with his elite ERA, note that Nola also sports a minuscule 0.93 WHIP.
Anderson is so far 5-5 with a 4.13 ERA. Anderson most recently went seven scoreless against the Cubs on Tuesday, striking out six and allowing only one hit. While his ERA is pretty "mediocre," note that Anderson comes in with a sharp 1.17 WHIP, while holding his opposition to a meagre .217 batting average.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Philadelphia has seen the total go "under" the number in 20 of 34 against teams with winning records, while Milwaukee has seen the total go "under" in 22 of 35 against clubs with winning records. This number is a little high, play the "under.
