Washington is at or near the bottom of the league in almost every statistical category. They are currently in a deep slump offensively. They have produced three runs or less in 12 of their last 13 games, and are just 5-17 in their last 22. Jason Simontacchi will have his hands full with a good Brewer lineup and he has not been the answer. He started off mediocre, but has gotten bad. He has pitched to an ERA of 7.41 in his last seven starts, allowing 56 hits in 37.2 innings. To make matters worse, in his 11 starts the pen has given up 26 runs, which is more runs than the Nats’ have scored as a team in their last 11 games! As bad as the Nats’, have been they are at their worst against the better teams. They have a 10-30 record against .500 or better teams. This is a value packed money line in this match-up.
