Nationals vs Brewers Prediction

The Brewers are 6-1 in their last 7 meetings against the Nationals and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Milwaukee.

In this Nationals vs Brewers Prediction, the Brewers are coming as -180 home favorites. The Brewers lost their third straight game with a 3-7 defeat yesterday and are putting Kyle Harrison on the mound who has been decent this season but was terrible at home last season with a 9.31 ERA in four home games played. The Nats are better against lefties this season, hitting with a .300 batting average and have 6.3 runs/9 and have a better offense than the Brewers this season, so I lean towards Washington and the plus money in this matchup.
