Brewers 10, Nationals 2

PASS.

I love the Brewers (-185) to complete the sweep in Washington, but I’ll take my bet to the run line with much better odds.

BET BREWERS -1.5 (-110).

The Brewers have dominated the Nationals this season, winning all 5 matchups—4 of them by multiple runs—while outscoring Washington 46-20. Milwaukee has won 16 of its last 20 games, and rookie starter Misiorowski has played a key role. He’s 1-0 and has allowed just 3 ER over his last 3 starts. The Brewers have thrived on the road, posting a 30-24 record and leading MLB with a .275 road batting average. They’ve also been strong against NL East opponents, going 13-7 this season.

The Nationals are trending in the opposite direction, dropping 4 straight games and 6 of their last 9 contests. Sunday’s starter Lord has just 1 win in his last 7 outings and Washington is 7-17 against the NL Central. With momentum, pitching, and the season series on their side, Milwaukee is in a great spot to complete the sweep.

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 9 of the last 10 meetings between the Brewers and Nationals. Milwaukee has gone Over in 6 of its last 7 games, while Washington has seen the Over cash in 4 straight games. Another high-scoring game looks likely Sunday.
