Milwaukee Brewers (8-6) and Washington Nationals (6-8) will conclude their three-game series on Sunday night at American Family Field. The Brewers will want to bounce back in this home series after losing their first two assignments. They lost 3-7 in the first game on Friday, then went down 3-1 on Saturday night. A win could see them move to the second spot in the NL Central and close the gap with division leaders, the Pirates.
The Nationals, on the other side of the grass, have shown they’re ready to turn a corner after a slow start to their campaign. They’re 3-7 in their last 10 assignments, a record that highlights their early-season struggles. Interestingly, the Nats have excelled more on the road, where they boast a 5-3 record, while winning only one of their six home games. They’ll be keen to complete a clean sweep against the Brewers today.

The Brewers are the -190 betting favorites in this matchup. Historically, they’ve been strong against the Nationals, scoring over 4.5 runs in six of their last seven meetings. However, the Nationals have been more productive in offense recently, scoring over 3.5 runs in seven of their last eight matches. The official MLB roster confirms that the Nationals will start Foster Griffin (1-0, 2.70 ERA, 11 strikeouts), while the Brewers will start Kyle Harrison (1-0, 2.61 ERA, 14 strikeouts). Both starting pitchers are great at limiting damage, so we expect another tight contest from these two sides.
