Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 07/12/25

The Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers continue their weekend series on Saturday afternoon following an 8-3 victory by the Brewers on Friday. The Brewers are running hot right now, pushing their winning streak to 5 games that included a sweep of the Dodgers. The Nationals are heading the other way, losers of 5 of their last 6. It is hard to imagine those fortunes change on Saturday, and the books know it, having the Brewers juiced to the point that you almost can’t play it. For that reason, I am pivoting to the game total and taking the over at 8.5.

The Nats will throw Shinnosuke Ogasawara. He has made one appearance for Washington, and he got blasted in less than 3 innings of work. There’s not a lot of reason to expect better results on Saturday; it’s just that he is about the only option the Nats have left right now until they master cloning technology and make a few more of MacKenzie Gore. The Brewers will throw Brandon Woodruff, who had a fantastic start in his return from a year-long absence. I don’t really expect him to do that every outing though, and the Nats can stack up lefty bats against him. The offense isn’t the problem most nights for Washington, and I am hoping they can plate a few on Saturday. In the end, their bullpen will likely have to cover a lot of innings, and their bullpen is dreadful. That should put us over the top.

Nationals vs Brewers Prediction: Over 8.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
