Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction

Aaron Civale hasn’t been great this season, and he has a 4.29 ERA in 4 starts since coming over from Tampa Bay. You can argue the plus money with the Nationals and DJ Herz at home. However, the Nationals feel like a team that’s run out of gas, with 5 straight losses and losses in 8 of their last 10 Games overall. Two teams heading in different directions, and this is a series the Brewers can use to create more distance in the Central. Price is more than reasonable. Give me the Brewers.
