Nick Castellanos led the team with four hits in the first game, while Kyle Schwarber and Rafael Marchan hit home runs.

Patrick struggles while Luzardo shines, Phillies favored to win at home

Patrick has shown promising performance in his initial months in the major leagues, despite encountering recent challenges. He has been unable to secure a win in his last four appearances, falling short of completing five innings in three of those games. The Milwaukee team has struggled on the road this season, with a record of 11-18 away from their home field. On the other hand, Luzardo has displayed consistent quality this season, striking out more than ten batters in his last two starts. With strong support from the Phillies lineup, Luzardo is poised for success in this matchup. I recommend betting on the Phillies to secure a victory at home in this game.
