Schule's MLB Merchant of Death - *EARLY START*
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Philadelphia, 06/30/2015 3:05 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Money Line: -117.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Phillies opened up a 4-1 lead after two innings in last night's series opener versus Milwaukee, but the Brewers scored three times in the sixth, and went on to win 7-4. I like Philly to even the series here tonight with their ace on the mound.

Cole Hamels will toe the slab for the Phillies, and he's rumored to be on his way out of town. Hamels (5-6, 3.26 ERA) allowed five runs on eight hits over five innings in a loss to the Yankees in the Bronx his last time out. He's been better at home, where he is 2-2 with a 2.30 ERA over seven starts.

The Brewers hand the ball to rookie right-hander Taylor Jungmann, who makes his fifth career start. Jungmann (2-1, 2.74 ERA) went five innings, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks in a no decision versus the Mets his last time out. As good as the 25 year old has looked, I don't like his chances of matching serves with Cole Hamels.

The Phillies are 5-1 in Hamels' last six starts versus the Brewers, and the total has gone under at a rate of 6-2-1 in his last nine starts versus Milwaukee.

Take PHI.
