Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 4/11/26, 3:31 PM  by Bill Christy | Modified on 4/12/26 at 8:56 AM in MLB Picks

In game two of the series between the Milwaukee Brewers (8-5) and the Washington Nationals (5-8), fans will be treated to a great matchup. Both teams are currently hitting inside the top 5 of the league in combined batting average, on-base percentage, and runs scored. While those offensive statistics would typically bode well for a play on the over, we pump the brakes a bit due to the two pitchers that will be on the mound for each team here.

Foster Griffin of the Nationals has faced two tough lineups in his two early starts on the season. After he held the Phillies to just 2 runs in his season debut, he followed that up with an even stronger outing against the Dodgers on Sunday. There, he allowed only 1 run on 5 hits through 5 innings.

For the Brewers, they are sending lefty Kyle Harrison to try to control this Nationals lineup. He has had success early with a 1-0 record through 2 starts. He has allowed just 3 earned runs in 10.1 innings of work while also striking out 14 batters and walking just 3.

In a game that features two strong starting pitchers, each facing very strong hitting lineups, this matchup could come down to who has the momentum after game one of the series.
