<p>The Washington Nationals and Milwaukee Brewers started a three-game set at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Friday, so here’s the best Nats vs. Brewers betting pick for Saturday afternoon’s middle contest.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>The opener has been excluded from the analysis, while the Brewers swept the Nationals in a three-game series in Washington back in May. According to <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, Milwaukee is a firm -200 fave for Saturday’s clash. Washington sits at +185 moneyline odds, and the totals are set at 9.0 runs.</p>



<h2><strong>The Nats swept the Jays to break out of their slump&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The Washington Nationals entered the Brewers series fresh off a two-set sweep over the Toronto Blue Jays, 12-6 and 8-5. They finally got things going at the plate and didn’t mind allowing a bunch of runs, as the Nationals’ pitching woes continued.</p>



<p>Washington has dropped 12 of its first 16 games in August mostly thanks to a 5.92 ERA and a .279 batting average against. The Nats have scored 78 runs in the process while posting a .256/.341/.405 batting line.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Nationals/status/1428810144842985475
</div></figure>



<p>Paolo Espino will get the starting call Saturday, and the 34-year-old righty is 3-4 with a 4.16 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 11 starts and 16 relief appearances this season (71.1 innings pitched). Over his three starts in August, Espino has allowed a whopping 12 earned runs on 18 hits and three walks across just ten innings of work.</p>



<h2><strong>The Brewers are cruising through the NL Central</strong></h2>



<p>The Milwaukee Brewers put an end to their four-game winning streak and fell to 74-48 on the season following an 8-4 defeat at the St. Louis Cardinals this past Thursday. They were still topping the NL Central comfortably, eight and a half games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds.</p>



<p>The Brewers have won 12 of their first 17 games in August, tallying a nice 3.34 ERA and a .229 batting average. Their bullpen has registered a 4.20 ERA and 3.60 FIP so far this month, while the Brewers’ offense has scored 90 runs on a solid .266/.320/.464 slash line.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/SophiaMinnaert/status/1428555067003740163
</div></figure>



<p>Eric Lauer will take the mound Saturday against the Nats, and he’s 4-4 with a 3.44 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 12 starts and four relief appearances in 2021. The 26-year-old lefty has been terrific over his previous seven outings, tallying a sparkly 1.53 ERA across 35.1 innings of work. Last Sunday, Lauer tossed four frames of a one-run ball and fanned six in a 2-1 win at Pittsburgh.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>Washington:</strong></p>



<ul><li>4-13 in the last 17 games overall</li><li>1-4 in Paolo Espino’s last five starts&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Milwaukee:</strong></p>



<ul><li>8-2 in the last ten games overall</li><li>5-2 in Eric Lauer’s last seven starts&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-washington-nationals-vs-milwaukee-brewers-pick"><strong>Washington Nationals vs. Milwaukee Brewers Pick</strong></h2>



<p>The Brewers will lean on their pitching once more, hoping for another strong display from Eric Lauer. Anyway, the Brewers have the advantage over the Nationals, whose bullpen has recorded a poor 5.72 ERA and 5.84 FIP in August while yielding 1.75 home runs per nine innings.</p>



<p>The visitors will stand a chance only if their offense puts on a show which seems unlikely against the Brewers’ pitching staff. The hosts should have enough firepower to take full advantage of the Nationals’ pitching and win this game.&nbsp;</p>





<p><strong> </strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>The Nationals lead the majors in the OPS against the lefties (.796). They also have a .270 batting average against the left-handed starting pitchers, so I’m expecting the Nats to score a couple of runs off Eric Lauer.</p>



<p>I’m also looking for another lousy performance on the mound, but the Brewers ‘pen will be a tricky factor. The side bet seems like a way to go in this matchup, but the odds on the over are tempting, and seven of the Nationals’ last nine games saw at least nine runs on the scoreboard.</p>
