Brewers vs Nationals Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Under 7.5(-105)

Wind is blowing in at around 9 MPH at Nationals Park Saturday for the matchup between the Nationals and the Brewers. Both starting pitchers enter this game in good form, and I lean towards the under on the posted game total as a result. Kyle Harrison is set to make his sixth start of the season for the Brewers on Saturday. Harrison is fresh off his best start of the year, tossing 6.0 scoreless frames with 12 strikeouts against the Pirates. He allowed just 2 baserunners in his 101 pitches thrown, and he will make this start on a 5 full days of rest. Through 23.2 innings, Harrison has a 2.28 ERA and 3.10 FIP while ranking 91st percentile in strikeout rate. Behind him is a talented bullpen.

Milwaukee has dealt with several injuries to position players so far this season, including the absences of Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich. This lineup is a lot less lethal on paper with Jake Bauers and Gary Sanchez in the heart of the order. Foster Griffin is set to start for Washington, and he has had a strong start to his season. The southpaw has a 2.67 ERA through 33.2 innings. He has thrown back-to-back quality starts, including 7.0 scoreless frames against a White Sox lineup that has been mashing left-handed pitching. These pitchers also faced off on April 11 in a 3-1 final.
