The NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers will go for the series win today when they wrap up their 3-game set with the Washington Nationals at American Family Field. The Brewers’ bats erupted yesterday and so did All Star Christian Yelich’s, and that could be trouble for Washington’s expected starter, Sean Nolin. Nolin has made just one start this year in the Bigs and is 0-1 with a 12.00 ERA and a 2.67 WHIP. Not good. The Brewers are expected to have Adrian Houser toe the rubber and he has been on his mark. Houser is 7-5 with a 3.55 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and over his last 3 he is 1-0 with a 2.93 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. Houser is returning from COVID-19 protocol so his pitch count could be limited but that won’t matter; the Brewers have one of the best bullpens in the Majors. The Nationals, who underachieved this year and have nothing to play for, are 5-16 in their last 21 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 in Milwaukee.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MILWAUKEE BREWERS
