Game Preview
The Washington Nationals will take a trip to the American Family Field to open up their weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Nationals have lost 5 straight series making this a very important one to get back on track this season. There’s been one constant in Washington’s games, and that’s their subpar pitching, their 4.93 ERA (28th MLB) has kept them from being a competitive team in the league.
For today’s game, the Washing Nationals will send 29-years-old Erick Fedde as their starting pitcher, who’s been performing decently in the Nationals lineup. Fedde has a 2-2 record and carries a 4.24 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP, but as of recently he’s been pitching well, scoring a 2.61 ERA over his last 4 starts, and looking at his games on the road, he owns a 1.59 ERA through 17 innings pitched. Using Ercik Fedde might give the Nationals just what they need to score a win over the Brewers in their opening game.
On the other hand, the left-handed pitcher Eric Lauer will be the starter for the Milwaukee Brewers, who holds an impressive 2.60 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP through the 34⅔ innings he’s pitched, this would be his 7th start. Although he gave up 3 home runs in his last start as he allowed 4 earned runs over 5 innings against the Miami Marlins last Saturday, Eric Lauer still comes in great form for today’s game.
Just as expected, the Brewers are the favorite ones for this game as the Washington Nationals rank 6th-worst in baseball in offensive WAR and own the eighth-worst weighted on-base average vs. left-handers this season. This makes things look rough for them when it comes to the offense in this game, they’ll have to rely on Fedde having a really good start for them to be able to score a win in today’s match.
