Brandon Woodruff (11-3, 3.62)vs MaxScherzer (11-7, 2.92)
Cashwith the Flash Best Bets: Nationals -180
Cash with the Flash Best Bets thinks this should be a very good baseball game on Tuesday night. Milwaukee has won seven of it’s last 10 but enters this game hoping to end a three-game losing streak, with three consecutive road losses to the last-place Colorado Rockies. Washington has won nine of it’s last 10 and enters this game riding an eight-game winning streak.
Cash with the Flash Best Bets highlights:
- Inseven National League Wild Card games, the home team has won just twice.
- Milwaukeewas 4-2 against the Nationals this season.
- Milwaukeewas 20-7 for the month of September
- Washingtonwas 17-11 for the month of September
Woodruff is coming off an injury that cost him nearly two months and has pitched four innings of shutout ball with seven strikeouts. He’ll likely pitch two or three innings tonight and turn things over to the third-best bullpen in baseball over the month of September.
Scherzer has a 1.50 ERA over six innings pitched against Milwaukee this season and the current collection of Brewers is batting .182 over 143 career at-bats. Over the past three seasons, Scherzer is 24-10 with a 2.84 ERA and is 1-0 during the month of October with a 9.00 ERA over five innings pitched at Nationals Park. If Scherzer struggles the Nationals will likely roll with righty Stephen Strasburg or lefty Patrick Corbin.
Injuries:
Milwaukee is withoutoutfielder Christian Yelich and outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Ryan Braun areboth listed as day to day.
Washington isn’t listing anyoneon their injury report for Tuesday evening.
Cash with the Flash Best Bets Prediction:
Washingtonis hot as a firecracker and is fully healthy with a three-time Cy Young Awardwinner on the hill who has a strong home record at Nationals Park. Scherzer willface a Brewers team on a three-game losing streak with a 40-41 record away fromMiller Park this season with a career .182 career batting average and a 24percent strikeout rate against righties this season.
Woodruff isonly going to pitch two to three innings and this will be his first careerplayoff appearance, so I expect some nerves. Washington has a low strikeout andabove average walk rate and I see the Nationals scoring early and hopefullycoasting behind what should be a dominant outing for Scherzer on Tuesday night.
Cashwith the Flash Best Bets suggests playing the Nationalsto defeat the Brewers on Tuesday night.
