Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers have recently surged to the top of the NL Central standings, overtaking the Chicago Cubs with a one-game lead. They have won 15 of their last 19 games, including taking two of three at home against the Cubs. In their last game, catcher William Contreras hit two home runs, bringing his season total to 8. Contreras, in his third season with the team, has 45 RBIs and a .253 batting average. Outfielder Jackson Chourio leads the team in hits but is out with an injury. Power hitter Christian Yelich leads the team with 20 home runs and 69 RBIs and has been batting fourth from the designated hitter spot. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff will make his 5th start of the season with a 2-0 record and an ERA of 2.01, having won every game he has started in July. In his last start, Woodruff gave up two runs in six innings in a win against the Marlins.
Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals are facing a challenging season as they struggle to make a run for the postseason. They recently lost two out of three games in Houston, putting them 17.5 games behind the division-leading Mets. The team is currently only ahead of the Rockies in the National League standings. In their last game against Houston, rookie Daylen Lile scored the only run with a sac-fly in a 9-1 loss. Lile has shown promise with two home runs and 14 RBIs in 44 games.
James Wood, the team's top player, had an impressive season with 24 home runs and 71 RBIs. He recently played in his first All-Star Game and has been a key player in the lineup. CJ Abrams, the leadoff hitter, leads the team with a .275 batting average. Jake Irvin, a 28-year-old right-handed pitcher, will make his 23rd start of the season with an 8-5 record and a 4.69 ERA. In his last two starts, the team came out victorious with Irvin on the mound. In his most recent outing against the Twins, Irvin allowed two runs in seven innings.
Brandon Woodruff's Strong Performance Puts Him in Cy Young Award Contention
If Brandon Woodruff had maintained his level of performance seen during July throughout the entire season, there is a strong possibility that he could have been a contender for the NL Cy Young Award. Despite only pitching in four games due to health issues, Woodruff has shown exceptional skill, boasting a low ERA of 2.01 and an impressive 29-3 strikeout to walk ratio. In comparison, the opposing pitcher, Irvin, has a strikeout to walk ratio significantly lower at 2-1. With the Brewers currently on a winning streak and Woodruff demonstrating consistency in his pitching abilities, it is likely that the team will secure another victory. It is advisable to place your trust in the Brewers for this match.
