The Milwaukee Brewers are coming off a 6-5 triumph against San Diego, a win that saw them splitting the four-game series with one of the best teams in baseball. The Brewers have won four of their last six games and I like them to pick up another W here in the opener of a three-game series at Washington.

Nats' veteran righty Jon Lester (0-2, 5.33 ERA) has yet to earn a winning decision on the season. The team has lost three of his last four starts and Lester has surrendered 11 runs over his last two starts.

Milwaukee left-hander Brett Anderson (2-3, 4.34 ERA) has been inconsistent, but I think he's worth the price here, especially as the Brewers are 7-5 as underdogs with Brett Anderson on the mound and 8-3 in their last 11 games as a road underdog overall.

8* play on Milwaukee Brewers.
