They’re also top 5 in SLG and OPS.

Seems good, right? A matchup of this magnitude offers some incredible opportunities to put some money down, so here’s a look at everything you need to know before you bet Philadelphia Phillies vs. Milwaukee Brewers on June 3.

Brewers vs. Phillies Starting Pitchers (June 3)

WilsonVSWheeler

The Phillies have the pitching advantage in tonight’s game with Milwaukee starting Bryse Wilson. Wilson will likely be good for around 4 innings tonight and has nearly as many walks as Wheeler despite sitting at just 48 IP this season (compared to Wheeler’s 73.2).

Wilson is not a strikeout pitcher for the Brewers, and Philadelphia is one of the best hitting teams in the league as already established. He has experience against this Phillies lineup, but it was when he didn’t see too much action in recent seasons out of the bullpen. On top of that, every Phillies batter that has faced him for 2 at-bats across his career has recorded a hit, which is everyone except Bryson Stott and Whit Merrifield.

Wheeler needs little introduction, right? He’s simply one of the best pitchers in baseball and throws absolute gas, sitting at 7th in strikeouts and 8th in ERA despite coming in at 11th in total innings pitched.

Willy Adames is the only Brewer that has seen consistent success against Wheeler, with a .400 average across 10 ABs with 5 RBI and a HR. Christian Yelich has done well against Wheeler too, sitting at .296 across 27 ABs with 1 long bomb and 4 RBI. Wheeler has struck Yelich out 7 times across his career.

The over/under total is set at 8.5 for this matchup, with the under slightly favored at -115. This is the first time these teams have played the other this season, but we do know these teams are No. 1 (Philadelphia) and No. 2 (Milwaukee) in RBI this season. On top of that, the Phillies and Brewers both boast to-tier pitching units in Major League Baseball, with Philadelphia just earning the edge between the pair.

Because these are 2 titans facing off tonight, it’s tough to discern much from recent trends as far as over/under is concerned. But we’re going to do it anyway!

Milwaukee is 11-9-1 against the over as the away underdog while Philadelphia is 12-14-3 as the home favorite. Philadelphia has typically hit the under as favorites this season, but Milwaukee has predominantly hit the over in general, sitting at 34-22-3 across all games ATO.

Phillies vs. Brewers Best Player Props (June 3)

All odds above via DraftKings Sportsbook. 

As stated earlier, Wilson is simply not a strikeout pitcher for the Brewers, and he’s facing a Phillies team that is near the top in every major offensive category. He’s unlikely to go for long tonight in Philadelphia and has only recorded more than 4.5 strikeouts 4 times this season.

This is the longshot of the afternoon, admittedly. Bohm faces a Milwaukee pitching staff that is vulnerable tonight, and he’s recorded a hit in his lone at-bat against Wilson.

Harper has surpassed this total in 2 of his last 3 games and has hit very, very well against Wilson across his career.
