Milwaukee Brewers vs Philadelphia Phillies 4/22/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The Milwaukee Brewers will meet with the Philadelphia Phillies in MLB action in Citizens Bank Park, PA, on Friday, April 22, 2022, at 7:05 PM ET. Right-hander Freddy Peralta is slated to make his third appearance of the season for the Brew Crew.
In a 10-1 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals last week, he gave up six runs on 7 hits, walked two, and struck out 4 batters in three innings. In the top of the first inning, he gave up four of his six earned runs.
The 25-year-old right-hander still had a 35% whiff rate and a 32 percent called plus swinging-strike rate, according to baseballsavant.com, so anticipate him to improve as the season develops.
Through the first 13 matches of the season, Milwaukee had a slow start at the bat. With only 10 home runs and a .348 slugging percentage, he has a batting average of 208. Christian Yelich tops the club with six RBIs, but he’s only hitting.195 in 41 at-bats.
It’s far too early to panic about these early-season figures, as it is with most clubs. Milwaukee is still 8-5, with a strong starting pitching rotation and bullpen.
In strikeouts and opposition team batting average, they are in the top 10. If things continue to be healthy, those figures should remain stable for the rest of the year.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Milwaukee’s previous 5 matches.
- The Milwaukee Brewers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches.
- Milwaukee is 2-5 SU in their last 7 matches against Philadelphia.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Philadelphia Phillies Predictions 4/22/2022
Ranger Suarez, a rookie left-hander, will make his third appearance of the season for the Phillies. In Saturday’s 10-3 win against the Marlins, Suarez allowed two runs on six hits, three walks, and four strikeouts in five innings. Suarez racked up 18 called strikes on the pitch while pitching with his powerful sinker for most of the evening.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, he made his worst error when he left an 84 mph changeup over the middle of the plate, which Jorge Soler blasted out of the park. After a meltdown in his first appearance of the season, he still has an awful 5.89 ERA and 1.96 WHIP with a chance to improve.
The Phillies are putting up impressive numbers at the plate to open the season, with the fourth-best batting average and 15 home runs. Kyle Scharber’s four home runs gave them the third-best slugging percentage in the league.
The mound was the source of their issues this season. They have an obnoxious 5.22 team ERA and surrendered the fifth-highest number of runs in the majors. That is one of the main reasons they dropped eight of their first thirteen games.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Philadelphia’s previous 6 matches.
- The Philadelphia Phillies are 2-7 SU in their last 9 matches.
- The total went OVER in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 6 matches against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Philadelphia Phillies. The MLB pick for this game is the Milwaukee Brewers. In his last appearance against the Cardinals, Freddy Peralta struggled, allowing six runs on seven hits while walking two hitters.
In the top of the first inning, he gave up four of his six earned runs. Peralta is a rock-solid pitcher for the Brewers over the previous three years, despite a dismal start.
The 25-year-old right-hander nonetheless had a 35 percent whiff rate and a 32 percent called plus swinging-strike rate. His ERA is now around 11, but I expect a strong performance in this game. The Phillies are terrific at the plate so far this season, but their bullpen and starters are overworked.
The Brewers can take advantage of a weak pen if they can get Suarez out of the ballgame by the fourth or fifth inning. The Milwaukee Brewers will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
