• Washington has dropped four of its last five and is under new management.
• The Brewers have moved to within one game of the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central standings thanks to their recent winning streak.

Final Thoughts

It was hard not to like what I saw from Brandon Woodruff in his return to the mound for the Brewers. If he can come back and pitch like that consistently, the Brewers could be a dangerous team in the NL Central and the National League as a whole. I expect Woodruff to give the Brewers the upper hand in this game. Milwaukee should win handily and cover the runline.
