The Philadelphia Phillies had better be sleeping with one eye open because the Milwaukee Brewers are just a half game back of them for the third and final Wild Card spot in the NL. Milwaukee has 7 games left on the slate, with all of them being played at American Family Field, and will open a 4-game set tonight with the Miami Marlins. Two lefties are expected to get the nod tonight, with Eric Lauer for the Brewers and Braxton Garrett for the Marlins. Lauer is 10-7 with a 3.96 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Garrett is upside-down at 3-6 with a 3.52 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and Miami is 0-5 in his last 5 turns against a team with a winning record. The Brewers are 43-31 at home, 5-1 in their last 6 against a team with a losing record, and 4-1 in their last 5 home games against a left-handed starter.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MILWAUKEE BREWERS
