#904 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Milwaukee Brewers -1.5 -105 on Run Line over Washington Nationals, Saturday at 4:05 PM ET - The Nationals have suddenly won 3 straight games but this was on the heels of a 7-game losing streak and losses in 12 of last 13 games. Yesterday the Nats got the better of the Brewers and having a lefty on the mound. Milwaukee is only a .500 team against lefties this season but is a dominant 60-36 against right-handed starters and 34-16 in day games this season. With the Brewers starting righty Paolo Espino, the Brewers lineup will have some of their left-handed lumber back in the lineup after they were held out of yesterday's lineup and then used in a pinch-hit role. Washington starter Espino has a 10.80 ERA in his last 3 starts - all Nationals losses - and two of those were at home. Nationals are also 0-3 overall this season in Espino's road starts. He'll likely prove to be no match for Milwaukee in this one. The Brewers starting pitching situation is the much better one for this game. Eric Lauer is 3-1 over his last 7 appearances (6 starts) and has a fantastic 1.53 ERA during this stretch. Lauer also has a 2.89 ERA in his 3 career starts against the Nationals. The Brewers are 21-10 last 31 games and 18 of the 21 victories came by 2+ run margin or more. Better team, better lineup, better starting pitcher, and also the much better bullpen and not just on the full season. Over the last 30 days the Brewers bullpen has been one of the best (#2 out of 30) with a 3.16 ERA while the Nationals bullpen has been one of the worst (#28 out of 30) with a 5.52 ERA.
