Brewers vs Phillies FanDuel Betting Pick
This game will be played at Citizens Bank Park at 7:05 PM ET on Friday, April 22, 2022.
Why Bet The Phillies:
✅ Freddy Peralta will take the mound for the Brewers, and the 25-year-old right-hander has struggled mightily in his first two starts of the season. He tossed four innings in his season debut, allowing three earned runs on three hits and four walks, but Peralta escaped with a no-decision in Milwaukee’s 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Five days later, Freddy was charged for a loss in a heavy 10-1 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals. He yielded six earned runs on seven hits and a couple of free passes in just three innings of work.
✅ The Phillies’ lineup is considered one of the most dangerous in baseball. At the moment, Philadelphia is boasting the fourth-best OPS in the majors (.761). The Phillies have smacked 15 home runs and 28 extra-base hits through their first 13 games of the new season. The current Phillies are slashing .284/.336/.640 in 54 at-bats against Freddy Peralta while hitting six home runs off the Brewers’ righty.

✅ The Brewers’ offense hasn’t been at its best through the first three weeks of the 2022 MLB season. Milwaukee ranks 24th in the majors in batting average (.208), 23rd in on-base percentage (.291), and 21st in slugging percentage (.348). Although the Phillies’ pitching staff hasn’t impressed at all so far this season, the Brewers could easily struggle at the plate in this matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers just swept a three-game home series against Pittsburgh. They are rolling on a four-game winning streak following a 4-2 victory over the Pirates last Wednesday. Brandon Woodruff fanned nine across six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and a couple of walks to the Pirates, while Keston Hiura launched a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to give the Brewers a 4-0 lead.
Rowdy Tellez also hit a home run last time out. The 27-year-old first baseman is leading the way for the Brewers with .920 OPS, three home runs, and eight RBIs. Milwaukee needs more from its offense after scoring 46 runs in its first 13 outings in 2022.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies have won three of their first four games in 2022. Since then, it’s been a bumpy road for the Phillies, who have dropped seven of their previous nine contests. They’ve just lost a three-game series at Coors Field in Denver, but the Phillies outlasted the Rockies 9-6 in the closer last Wednesday.
Johan Camargo enjoyed a wonderful night in Colorado. He went 4-for-5, slugging a three-run dinger in the top of the seventh inning to get his team a five-run lead. Zach Eflin surrendered four earned runs across 5.2 frames, while Corey Knebel earned his second save of the season.
