Milwaukee Brewers Preview
The Brewers are second in the NL Central and are half of a game behind the Cincinnati Reds. They are currently on a three game skid heading into this series, as they suffered tough losses against the Atlanta Braves. Corbin Burnes takes the mound and is 9-6 with an ERA of 3.46 and WHIP of 1.04.
They have solid averages throughout, like their batting average of .232, which offers a decent chance at the plate. However, their opponents typically average .238, which keeps things interesting. If they could produce more offense, they could be dangerous.
They have an on-base percentage of .312, which shows they do a decent job to get on base. Their pitching could use some improvement with an ERA of 4.07, but is arguably better than the Nationals.
The Brewers have gone 4-6 over their last 10 games against some tough teams. They are 28-25 on the road and 18-32 as the favorite.
Washington Nationals Preview
The Nationals are last in the NL East and are 24.5 games behind the leading Braves. They do not seem like they will be able to catch them, especially since they recently went 1-3 in their series against the New York Mets coming into this series. Jake Irvin is expected to be the starting pitcher for game one and is 3-5 this year (4.96 ERA, 1.43 WHIP).
Their averages showcase some strengths, such as their batting average. They put up .261, but allow .275, showing that they do well at the plate but allow their opponents to do even better.
With their strong batting performances, they have a good time with getting on base with an average of .319. Their ERA of 4.95 is not as attractive as the Brewers, so this could be key here.
The Nationals have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games against respectable teams with solid offense. In their recent losses, they only were able to put up four runs total in three games. They are 20-33 at home and are 56-44 as the underdog.
