In Saturday night MLB action, the Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Nationals will continue their weekend series from Nationals Park. Last night, Milwaukee clubbed three home runs during a 4-1 victory in the nation’s capital. SP Jhoulys Chacin struck out six batters over six frames for the Brewers, who trail Chicago by four games for the NL Central Division lead.

Thirty-year old righty Chase Anderson (9-7 4.04 ERA) will head to the hill for the Brewers in this contest. Anderson has won consecutive starts and has given up four runs over his last 11 frames.
The Washington Nationals have failed to live up to expectations and are now left to shed payroll in what has been a lost season. On Friday, Washington dealt SP Gio Gonzalez to Milwaukee and RP Ryan Madson to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nationals are a game below .500 overall and 7.5 games out of first place in the NL East Division standings.

Thirty year old righty Stephen Strasburg (7-7 4.15 ERA) is unlikely to ever live up to his $175-million dollar contract. Through 95 plus innings, Strasburg has fanned 111 batters and owns a solid 1.20 WHIP.

Washington C Matt Wieters left Wednesday’s game with back tightness and is listed as day-to-day. Through 136 games, Milwaukee ranks 12th in batting average and 15th in runs scored. For the season, Washington ranks 13th in batting average and 11th in runs scored. Take Milwaukee to win their fourth straight game. Final Score Prediction, Milwaukee Brewers win at nice underdog price 5-4.
