Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Philadelphia Phillies

In a major early-season test for the young Milwaukee Brewers, the National-League-Central-leading squad will take on the National-League-East-leading Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The Brewers come in hot: Milwaukee has won five straight and eight of their last ten. The Phillies, though they’ve been good all year, are in a slight downturn—they’re coming off a series in which they won two out of three against St. Louis, but lost two of three on the road to both the Giants and Rockies in their previous two series and are just 4-5 in their last nine games.
