Prediction published on 8/4/24, 10:10 AM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Nationals finally ended a 5-game losing streak with Saturday's 6-4 win over the Brewers. In that slump, they lost 3 games by one run, putting their record at 10-16 in games decided by one run difference. The Nationals dropped two spots, but they are still the 3rd best team in MLB at covering the run line.

Finnegan got his 29th save by getting the last 4 outs and being the 3rd with the most saves in the 2024 season. The Nats took advantage of their opportunities and only left 7 runners on base while the Brewers left 15.

The Brewers will be favorites with odds of -135 to win Game 3, the Milwaukee team plays its best baseball in Game 3 series where they have a record of 21-12. The 25-year-old right-hander Myers will be the pitcher in the deciding game. He has had solid starts in 2024 and has twice pitched eight scoreless innings this season against the Tigers and Pirates.

Parker is the Nationals' scheduled pitcher. In his last two starts, the Nationals have lost and in his last five he has allowed five HRs. In none of his last three appearances has he exceeded 75 pitches.
