This is a 10* TOTAL BK on the UNDER Brewers/Nationals.

These teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm predicting a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring battle here on Friday.

Milwaukee has seen the total go OVER in five of its last six after losing two of three at home to the Braves earlier in the week, while Washington has seen the total go OVER in three straight after losing its fourth game in a row and getting swept in three straight at Arizona this week.

Note though that the Nats have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

I like these starting pitchers and am predicting that they'll battle deep into the latter frames vs. each other, with Frankie Montas expected to start for Milwaukee, and Jake Irvin countering for the home side.

I say the conditions are now 100% correct for a tigher, lower-scoring battle in the Nation's capital on Friday, so the play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
