Nationals vs. Brewers Pick
Will Max Scherzer get the Washington Nationals off to a good start in their series against the Milwaukee Brewers when they meet tonight at 8:10PM ET?
The Nationals have Scherzer on the mound to face Zach Davies of the Brewers. According to oddsmakers at BetDSI, Washington is a -165 favorite to win on the road. Milwaukee is listed with a +150 money line today, while the over/under total is set at 7 runs.
Washington is 43-30 on the season, 23-18 on the road and 36-31-6 with the over. Milwaukee is 32-40 on the year, 19-17 at home and 36-32-4 with the over. These two are meeting for the first time this season, but Washington won four of its last five against the Brewers last season.

The Nationals are in a real funk, losing five straight coming into this game. That’s where Scherzer needs to step up and prove he is an ace. It shouldn’t be terribly difficult against the Brewers’ lineup. Scherzer has a 0.90 ERA over his last three starts and his WHIP for the season is below 1. While Davies has been a solid pitcher for Washington, he has the lesser of the two lineups in this game. Look for Washington to get a low-scoring win tonight.
