You can't trust the foldin' Phillies, an underachieving group all season at 23rd in runs scored and 22nd in on-base percentage. They've lost three of the last four games and wind up a seven game road trip here. Philadelphia's only strength is starting pitching, but not today as one of their worst pitchers goes in, Kyle Kendrick (5-9, 4.53 ERA). He has a 5.02 ERA his last three starts and in his career against Milwaukee he's 0-3 with a 4.82 ERA. And, this is a tough park to pitch in. The Phillies are 19-40 in their last 59 games as an underdog, 3-12 in their last 15 games as a road underdog and 3-13 in Kendrick's last 16 starts with four days of rest. The Brewers have a good offense (11th in runs scored, 9th in slugging) and have found their groove back at home, where they've always been tough: The Brewers are 8-1 in their last nine home games. Play the Brewers.
