The Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers will begin a three-game series on Friday night at American Family Field.
Washington Nationals
After a disastrous first two games of the series featuring some horrific defense, the Nationals managed to knock one of baseball’s best pitchers in Pablo Lopez out after three innings en route to a win in Wednesday’s finale.
The Nationals are slightly below average with 4.05 runs per game on the season and a .677 team OPS. Washington pitching has been the bigger problem, ranking third from the bottom with a 4.93 collective ERA including a mark of 4.08 from the bullpen.
Juan Soto has been Washington’s best hitter as expected, posting an .864 OPS with eight homers, four steals, 11 RBI and 26 runs scored. Josh Bell is also having a strong season, batting .316/.405/.456 with four homers and 23 RBI.
Washington is down a big amount on the money line with its poor outright record while going just 15-24 on the run line. Overs are 17-19-3 for the Nationals after two of the three games against the Marlins went over the betting total.
Milwaukee Brewers
In a rare outing where reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes struggled, the Milwaukee offense managed to come alive, sealing a series win over the Braves on Wednesday in the series finale.
Offense was the question coming into the season for Milwaukee, and it has managed top 10 marks so far with 4.71 runs per game on a .719 team OPS. Milwaukee pitching has also been strong with a 3.48 collective ERA, including a mark of 3.69 from the bullpen.
Renfroe is providing some power, posting a .797 OPS with nine homers and 16 RBI. Christian Yelich is starting to heat up some, bringing his overall numbers to a .758 OPS with five homers, 20 RBI and 25 runs scored.
Milwaukee is up slightly on the money line for the season, although it has struggled on the run line with a mark of 16-22. Overs are 17-16-5 for the Brewers, with just 3 of their last 10 games going under the betting total.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:

Washington Nationals vs. Milwaukee Brewers MLB Prediction:
Between a bad pitching staff and ugly defensive numbers, the entire run prevention unit for the Nationals is struggled mightily, which is going to make it very difficult to keep up all weekend with a contending team like the Brewers.
This Brewers offense is much more potent and has the ability to score in bunches, not good for a team like Washington that tends to give up the long ball.
Give me the Brewers to cover the run-line at home.
