Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction
The Brewers are the better team and should be favored at home but they’ve lost 3 straight games and have been outscored 5-12 in those games. The Nationals have been a scrappy bunch and are putting up solid offensive numbers to hang around. Griffin has also looked solid in his return from Japan, posting a 2.70 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with 11 strikeouts in 10 innings. I’ll take a stab at the Nats in hope to make 1.5 times our money.
