The Milwaukee Brewers will use an "opener" in game two, with Colin Rea handling most of the pitching duties. The Brewers' second through fourth batters went a combined 0-for-12 with five strikeouts in yesterday's 3-1 loss. Milwaukee is ranked second in defensive runs saved. I think the visiting team will keep this close if not win outright. Grab the +1.5 on the run line as a safety net.
Brewers lost Burnes and Woodruff, and now top young lefties DL Hall and Robert Gasser are both likely on the shelf longterm. Too many cobbling together pen games lately, and bad time to be going TBD vs this Phils lineup. We keep riding PHI on the RL at home, where they are 8-2 in last 10. Sanchez should be good enough to limit Brewers bats (2.03 ERA at home), and I expect run support tonight given MIL pitching conundrum.
