Run line/Against the spread
The Nats have played a significantly tougher slate so far, and the Brewers have a kind 9-3 mark in 1-run games.
The Brewers are the lean overall, but the price on getting the Nats within 1 run is solid enough.
BACK THE NATIONALS +1.5 (-120).
Over/Under
Milwaukee owns a well-below-average .668 OPS against port-siders. Woodruff is a solid pick to get on a decent roll this summer.
The back ends of both bullpens are in a good shape, and there is some around-the-margins downside to the Brewers’ overall batting production.
BACK THE UNDER 7.5 (-107) but try to wait out a price closer to -102.
