The Milwaukee Brewers have lost eight in a row and now find themselves trailing the Cardinals by 1.5 games in the NL Central. They will look to snap their losing streak by sending Jason Alexander taking the mound. He is 0-0 with an ERA of 2.25. Washington has won two straight over the Brewers and will look to make that three in a row by sending Paolo Espino to the mound. He has not made a start this season but has made 20 appearances with a 2.03 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. Washington is just 16-38 in the last 54 at home and has lost seven of their last eleven while Milwaukee has lost nine of their last eleven. If <ilwukee is to get back to winning, this is the perfect game for them to start. Washington has the worst ERA in baseball and has lost 38 of the last 54 played at home in Nationals Park. Alexander has allowed four runs in 12 innings pitched. Espino will make his first start and the Nationals will have to turn to a bullpen that isn't so great. Milwaukee ends the losing streak today.

Play on Milwaukee. This is a 6* play.
