Free MLB Pick

The Nationals’ bats woke up yesterday with 5 runs on 11 hits against the Yankees and should be able to put some runs on the board today versus Matt Garza. The Milwaukee starter has allowed 20 runs in his last four starts and got one batter out in his last start against Washington where he allowed 5 runs in 1/3 of an inning. The Brewers’ scoring output of 6 runs in 4 games could signal a downward trend for their offense, but they faced a nasty group of starter over the 4 game span and should rebound with some runs today.
