Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with the Brewers. Keuchel had a rough start versus the Rangers to finish off June, posting five earned in 4.0 innings. Since then Keuchel has two earned over 9.2 innings in a pair of starts (no decisions). As for Parker, he’s coming off one earned in 7.0 innings versus the Cardinals. Parker is just 0-2 in his last three outings, though.

On Friday the Brewers got very little action at the plate outside of Sal Frelick (three hits; RBI) and Willy Adames (RBI; run), who combined for all four of the team’s hits. The good news is that the bullpen wasn’t bad (4.0 innings; one earned). Milwaukee has scored two or fewer runs in three of the last four games; they’ve got to get the bats going Saturday.
