Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/03/25

In this game, we will see the Milwaukee Brewers take on the Washington Nationals. Over the past 2 days, we have watched the Brewers amass 24 runs and win both games. On the mound today, we have Jacob Misiorowski of the Brewers and Brad Lord of the Nationals. Misiorowski has made some waves in the MLB especially after being included in the all-star game. The young pitcher has a 4-1 record with a 2.70 ERA while throwing over 100 miles per hour regularly. In his most recent start, he gave up 3 runs in the first inning and turned it around to not give up any more hits or runs through 4 innings. The issue with Misiorowski is that he is not pitching deep into games. Over his past 4 starts, he has only reached the 5^th inning once. Luckily for the Brewers, the bullpen has been playing very well (outside of the first game against the Nationals). Overall, the Brewers are starting a great pitcher and he will be backed up by more great pitching.

For the Nationals, Brad Lord will take the hill. Lord is a relief pitcher that has started in his last 2 appearances. In those starts, he has pitched 9.1 innings giving up 7 hits and 2 earned runs. These are some impressive numbers for a relief pitcher that is thrown into the starting lineup. The issue is that he will face a Brewers team that is batting .347 over the last 6 games. Additionally, they have accrued a total of 40 hits over the past 2 nights. I am not sure Lord has what it takes to shut them down. Outside of the starters, the Nationals have the worst bullpen ERA in the MLB (5.72). In that last 2 nights alone, the Nats bullpen has given up 9 earned runs. All in all, the Brewers are hitting the ball better and are the safer option when looking at the pitching. I am rolling with the Brewers to make it 3 in a row.
