Today’s matchup is between the Milwaukee Brewers (26-25) and the Washington Nationals (21-26). The Brewers have won 3 of their last 5 games & the Nationals have won 3 of their last 5 games.
The Brewers are starting Brandon Woodruff (RHP), on the mound who is 3-2 on the season pitching a 1.41 ERA, 2.24 FIP, .187 wOBA, K% of 30.8%, BB% of 5.9%, 87.3 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.70 WHIP in 64.0 innings pitched.
The Nationals are starting Max Scherzer (RHP), who is 4-3 on the season with a 2.27 ERA, 3.24 FIP, .255 wOBA, K% of 35.6%, BB% of 5.4%, 89.7 MPH average exit velocity, and a 0.85 WHIP in 63.1 innings pitched.
The Brewers are 19th in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Nationals are 20th.
On the hitting side, the Brewers have a .288 wOBA and a .295 OBP. The Nationals have a .318 wOBA and a .325 OBP. The Brewers have 54 HRs this season while the Nationals have 47 HRs.
This should be a low-scoring game with plenty of strikeouts as well. I like under 6.5 Runs.
