Nats are currently - 190 in my books to beat Mil but a F5 bet only nets you- 160. Now given the crappy Nats bullpen, it would seem line should be the other way around. Highly unlikely Nats will be behind this game so seems kind is not factoring in Nats bullpen at all. What do you guys think?
While I certainly agree the Nats look best on paper don’t count the Crew out. Offensively I think both teams are actually pretty even. Obviously Rendon is the best out there but guys like Moose, Braun and Cain know how to win in the playoffs. That’s also not even counting Grandal and Keston.
Scherzer on the mound isn’t as scary as it sounds. Of course he could be dominant but in his postseason career he’s 4-5 with a 3.73 ERA in 82 innings. Not to mention in his last 7 starts to end the season he pitched to a 4.74. Also don’t underestimate how tough it is to be a starter for 30+ games of the year then be asked to come into a game after sitting the first 5-6 innings. Corbin and Strasburg are starters for a reason. Coming in cold in a tight game in the 8th is a different animal.
Finally the Brewers pen has been outstanding in September. Pomeranz has been untouchable, Hader is Hader, and even Guerra and Suter have been pretty much lights out. A 9 inning game where you get 3 from Woodruff, 2 from Suter and the last 4 from a combo of Guerra, Hader, Pomeranz isn’t a cake walk.
