Brewers at Nationals OddsShark Matchup Report

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers were looking like a shoo-in for one of the two wild card spots in the National League when they entered August with a 63-47 record through their first 110 games. A 5-10 slump over Milwaukee’s next 15 games however gave the rest of the league a chance to catch up.

Milwaukee has since turned things back around with a 7-3 record over its last 10 games, but only two games separate the top four teams in the wild card race with Milwaukee, St. Louis, Colorado and Los Angeles all fighting for two spots and Philadelphia not far behind.

Since the start of July, Chacin has led the Brewers to a 7-3 record in his last 10 starts. The right-hander has allowed one earned run or less in five of his last eight starts.

Washington Nationals

After suffering three straight shutout losses towards the end of last week, Washington’s bats have woken up to the tune of 7.8 runs per game over the team’s current 3-1 run.

The Nationals are all but out of the race for a wild card spot with a 67-67 record on the season, but this could be their last chance to make a move with a 10-game home stand that includes six games against Milwaukee and St. Louis, the two teams currently holding wild card spots. Washington is 14-10 against NL Central teams this season.

Friday night’s total is set at nine runs. The OVER is 5-1 in Milwaukee’s last six games according to the OddsShark MLB Database.

Fatigue could be a factor for the Brewers on Friday after they played back-to-back extra inning games in Cincinnati before traveling to Washington for this one. The series closes out over the weekend with Chase Anderson vs. Stephen Strasburg on Saturday and Junior Guerra vs. Max Scherzer on Sunday.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
