Prediction published on 6/1/25, 9:52 AM  by Erik Gibbs | Modified on 6/1/25 at 4:15 PM in MLB Picks

Sunday afternoon’s matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park marks the conclusion of their three-game series. The Brewers enter the finale riding high after a dominant 17-7 victory on Saturday, extending their win streak to six games.

They opened the series with a solid win and now have a chance to sweep the Phillies on their home turf. Despite leaving 10 runners on base and going just 3-for-10 with runners in scoring position in Saturday’s blowout, Milwaukee’s offense exploded with timely hitting and capitalized on Philadelphia’s pitching struggles.

The Brewers now sit 5.5 games behind the division-leading Cubs in the National League Central, and their recent hot streak has them gaining ground quickly. On the mound Saturday, DL Hall delivered three no-hit innings with four strikeouts, showing promise before exiting without factoring into the decision. Milwaukee’s bullpen handled the rest, keeping the Phillies at bay until late in the game.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, will look to salvage a game from the series and avoid being swept at home. The Phillies have been one of the stronger teams at Citizens Bank Park this season, winning 19 of their first 30 home contests.

They're currently tied with the Mets atop the NL East and have relied on strong starting pitching and timely hitting to maintain their position. However, Saturday’s performance was a rare stumble in an otherwise strong campaign.
