Nationals vs. Brewers Picks
Run Line Pick for Nationals vs. Brewers
- Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 (4 Units)
The Brewers have the edge here because they are playing very well offensively, especially at home, where they scored at least six runs in five of their six games. Even though Griffin did a good job on the mound in his two starts, he is backed up by one of the worst bullpens in the league, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Brewers.
Washington has also played well offensively, but they will have a hard time keeping up with the Brewers because Harrison has done a good job on the mound for the Brewers, giving up five runs in two starts. He gave up four runs in his last two starts against the Nationals, and with Milwaukee’s bullpen playing well, expect them to keep Washington’s offense in check. Take Milwaukee on the run line.
Over/Under Pick for Nationals vs. Brewers
- Over (4 Units)
The Nationals average 5.92 runs per game. They’re batting .304 against left-handers, and they’re facing a starter who gave up four runs in his last two starts against them, and a team that is giving up 3.83 runs per game. The Brewers average 5.83 runs per game. They’re batting .221 against left-handers, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 6.50 runs per game. Expect these teams to score enough runs to push the score over the total. The Brewers and Nationals played over the total in their last six meetings.
