Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals Prediction

The Brewers continue to rack up the wins, and they’re throwing out their prized rookie in Misiorowski who has lived up to the hype so far. Misiorowski has a 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP on the season and while he’s been shaky through 13.1 road innings, the numbers overall are impressive. Lord has held his own over his last 16.2 innings and is going deeper into games lately, but the Nationals overall look like a team that’s running out of gas. I have no choice but to side with the Brewers on Sunday afternoon.
