The Washington Nationals, languishing at 6-8, are due for a spark - and they'll try to find it at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, against the 8-6 Brewers. Zack Littell (RHP, #18) takes the mound with a serviceable 3.60 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 10 innings pitched this season. It's not flashy, but he's been a decent placeholder so far. The real question is: can he outduel Brandon Woodruff (RHP, #53), who's sporting a 5.91 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 10.2 innings? Woodruff's numbers are a bit of a head-scratcher, but he's still a righty with a penchant for racking up strikeouts.
The Nationals are dealing with some injury woes, including Joan Adon (OUT) and Josiah Gray (60-Day IL), but they're no strangers to adversity. As they face off against the Brewers, they'll look to exploit some of Milwaukee's vulnerabilities. The team ERA contrast between these two clubs is striking: Washington's 5.47 ERA versus Milwaukee's 3.95. That's a pretty significant gap.
