Milwaukee Brewers at Washington Nationals Prediction

In Saturday’s matchup between Milwaukee and Washington, look for the Brewers to break out of their losing streak and pick up a win. Throughout their skid, Milwaukee’s offense has been lackluster at best. However, with a matchup against Patrick Corbin, I expect the Brewers to finally break through for some runs. I like Milwaukee on the runline.
