Despite the loss, the Brewers were still able to clinch a first-round bye and home field advantage for the NLDS series with the Braves loss. The Brewers return to Citizens Bank Park again tonight for what is expected to be another tough matchup, as the Brewers continue to push for the No. 1 seed in the National League.
The Phillies are just two wins away from securing a Wild Card spot, putting added importance on every game down the stretch. Given how inconsistent Philadelphia has been this season, fans may be resistant to get too confident, but Nola's recent run gives a reason for optimism.
Aaron Nola appears to be finding his best form at the most important point of the Phillies' season, posting a 1.87 ERA over his last eight starts, making it his best stretch since 2018. He'll take the mound against the Brewers tonight, giving Philadelphia another opportunity to build momentum against one of the best team's in the National League.
Jake Bauers (+525)
Jake Bauers has firmly established himself as a dominant force at the plate this season. Leading the Brewers with 26 home runs, more than doubling his previous season-high of 12. Bauers has transformed into a vital playmaker for the Brewers, who are having a historic season.
Facing Nola, who enters the matchup in strong form but has struggled to maintain consistency throughout the season, Bauers presents a challenging test for the Phillies.
Alec Bohm (+950)
Alec Bohm has been part of the inconsistency that has plagued the Phillies this season, but his recent numbers are hopeful. He is batting .333 in September and has also posted a strong .423 OBP, proving his playmaking ability.
While Bohm has not been known for his home run power, his recent offensive production makes him intriguing in tonight's matchup. One well-timed swing could be all it takes to ignite a home run spark for Bohm.
