Our Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

Brewers to cover -1.5 runs. Milwaukee’s offense that generates at least 8 runs per game will be too much for the Nationals, even with Foster Griffin on the mound. Griffin, who posted 5.1 scoreless innings in his first duel with the Brewers on April 11, must bring his A-game this time against a more potent offense from Milwaukee. Kyle Harrison has the momentum to put on another strong mound appearance, and the Brewers' bullpen (1.57 ERA over the last 5 games) is capable of shutting down any offense during the late innings of a match.

Our betting prediction for the Milwaukee Brewers vs. the Washington Nationals: The Brewers -1.5 runs

Prediction:

 

The Brewers -1.5 Runs
