Milwaukee Brewers kept their cool once again and will come into this game hoping to display another competitive play. In their last series, this team defeated the Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers.

In this series opener, the Milwaukee Brewers had a very solid start, scoring six runs in the third inning which gave them a good edge. However, this team has been impressive all season with a 54-40 record this season which saw them sit third in the National League with a 0.574 PCT.

Washington Nationals: Form and Statistics

The Washington Nationals have been poor all season and a 38-56 record with a 0.404 PCT is a testament to this. While this team has had their moments, defeating the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels, this team has now won only one of their last seven matches. In fact, they have lost their last two series, playing the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox. Having lost the opener of this series by five runs, the Washington Nationals will go all out into this game hoping to turn the tables and secure a win.

Milwaukee Brewers vs Washington Nationals Match Prediction 12 July 2025

The Milwaukee Brewers are clear favorites and I do not see them struggle. The home team are in hot form right now with a lot of competitiveness and brilliant performance which saw them win their last five matches. While the Washington Nationals have been inconsistent all season, their recent plays have also been worse and it is just tough to imagine them turning the tables after how the opener ended. I love the Milwaukee Brewers to extend the lead as the Washington Nationals should struggle in defence once again. Also, recent games featuring both teams have ended with many runs and a similar outcome is expected here.
