Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals Prediction

I’m on the Nationals here. The Nationals have just been that team that finds a way to get the job done in the first two Games of the series and I think it’s off that Irvin is an underdog here. I know Rea has solid numbers on the surface, but we’ve started to see signs of regression for Rea like in his last start when he got hit hard by the Pirates. I think the Nationals have great value and I like them to complete the sweep here.
