Chip's 'Guaranteed' NL Wild Card Power Play Winner
(MLB) Milwaukee vs. Washington,
Money Line: 167.00 Milwaukee (Away)
Result: Loss
Milwaukee at Washington 8:08 ET
Brewers (+) over Nationals- It truly is an amazing feat that both or either of these clubs are facing each other in this Wild Card match-up. Washington started the season winning just 19 of their first 50 games and ended up with 93 wins by goin 74-38 the rest of the way. Milwaukee meanwhile, as we are all aware lost their best player Christian Yelich to injury and managed to win 18 of 20 down the stretch before getting swept three game in Colorado to close the season. Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer (11-7, 2.92 ERA) gets the start for the Nationals who closed the season winning their last eight but have a history of struggling at home in the post-season where they are 2-7. The Brewers will start Brandon Woodruff (11-3, 3.62) who has pitched just three innings since July 21 posted a 1.46 ERA in last year's playoffs. The season series went 4-2 to the Brewers and are 7-0 in their last seven against the NL East and they are 6-2 in Woodruff's last eight road starts. Take MILWAUKEE!
