Milwaukee sits atop the NL Central after winning its third straight in a 5-1 victory over the Nationals on Saturday as Andrew McCutchen and Luis Urias went deep for the Brewers. Washington has lost seven of its last nine games, and it's in last place in the NL East with a 13-28 record (8-13 on the road). Freddy Peralta gets the call for Milwaukee today, and he is 3-1 with a 3.53 ERA as the Brewers have won his last four starts, including 1-0 against Atlanta on Monday when Peralta pitched seven shutout innings on just two hits. Current Washington hitters are just seven-for-34 for a .191 batting average versus Peralta. Aaron Sanchez has been lit up for 21 runs in 22 2/3 innings, and he didn't last past the fourth inning his last outing for Washington. Milwaukee has won seven of the last eight meetings and 14 of 16 versus right-handed starters. The Nationals have lost 62 of 87 as underdogs dating to last season. Take the Brewers.
