The Brewers have hit the money line in 18 of their last 26 games and the under is 22 of their last 34 away games. Milwaukee has covered the run line in 10 of the last 15 games. 

Meanwhile, the Phillies have hit the under is 39 of their last 76 and the money line in 26 of their last 36. Philly has hit the under is 25 of their last 41 at home. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably lean Phillies here. Also probably staying away from this one. Both starters could use a good showing on Tuesday. Nola had a good start versus Tampa Bay back on July 4 (7.1 innings; one earned) but in two of his last three starts he’s got 11.0 combined innings with eight earned runs. As for Teheran, he’s given up 13 earned runs in 11.2 combined innings on 16 hits and a walk in his last two games, going 0-1 in that pair. I don’t think either starter will post a terrible game here, but I’m probably not touching it.
