Washington Nationals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

I’m on the Brewers here. The Nationals getting a decent amount of plus money is tempting, but they keep on finding new and creative ways to lose while the Brewers are heading into the all-star break hot as can be. Peralta’s also been much better at home and I think they take care of business here. Give me Milwaukee.
