Phillies vs. Brewers prediction and odds for Sunday, Sept. 3 (Expect plenty of runs)

The Philadelphia Phillies still hold a firm grasp on the top wild card spot in the National League, but it would do them well to avoid a sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers today after dropping their first two games against them this weekend.

Phillies vs. Brewers prediction and pick

You may look at today's pitching matchup between Ranger Suarez (3.88 ERA) and Wide Miley (3.17 ERA) and assume this is going to be a pitchers duel, but I'm going to zig while everyone else zags and bet on an offensive shootout instead. Give me the OVER.

First of all, today's game is a battle of lefties and both teams have been crushing left-handed pitching lately. Since the All-Star Break, the Phillies rank 5th in OPS (.856) against lefties while the Brewers rank 9th (.812). Gone are the days when we could blindly fade the Brewers when they faced a left-handed starter.

Not only do both teams rake against lefties, but I think Miley's ERA is extremely deceiving. 3.17 is a solid number, but his Field Independent Pitching is all the way up at 4.71. That's an indicator that he's due for some significant regression in the final stretch of the season.

I think the safest bet to make in this game is to bet the OVER. It's already hit twice this series, so why not a third time?
