Key Storylines
Pitching matchup
Milwaukee sends rookie Jacob Misiorowski to the mound. He is 4‑1 with a 2.70 ERA and has struck out 47 batters in just 33.1 innings of work. Misiorowski will look to continue his strong rookie campaign with a win against the struggling Nats. Washington will counter with Brad Lord. Lord has a 2-5 record and has a 3.27 ERA and will look to outshine the Brewers’ exciting rookie.
Key Players
- Milwaukee: Christian Yelich leads Milwaukee with 21 home runs and 72 RBI. Yelich went 3-4 at the plate on Saturday and scored three runs in the Brewers’ win over Washington.
- Washington: James Wood leads the Nationals with 24 home runs and 71 RBI. He is their primary run producer and will look for help from the rest of the Washington lineup.
Recent team streaks
The Brewers have won the first two games of this series by scores of 16‑9 and 8‑2. Milwaukee has won two straight games and four of their last five. The Nationals have lost four games in a row and will look to end that streak here.

- Four of Milwaukee’s five wins over the Nationals have come by two runs or more.
- Milwaukee is tied for fourth in MLB in runline win percentage this year (56.4%).
Brewers vs Nationals Model Projection
- Score Projection: Brewers 6 – Nationals 3
- Win Probability: Brewers 62%, Nationals 38%
Final Thoughts
The Brewers have dominated their season series against the Nationals so far this year. I expect that to continue in this game. Look for Misiorowski to continue his great start to his pro career and for the Brewers’ offense to continue to showcase what they can do against a shoddy Nationals pitching staff. I will lay the runline with Milwaukee in what could end up being another lopsided game between these National League foes.
