Washington starter Jake Irvin has a 6.96 ERA over his past eight outings overall and 5.81 on the road this season. A few Brewers led by Willson Contreras (1.611 OPS in nine at-bats) have good if limited splits off him. It's ace righty Freddy Peralta (1.56 home ERA) starting for the Brewers, meaning he won't be able to throw in the All-Star Game. He will have at least one extra day off ahead of his next start so the team should have little problem allowing him to go at least seven IP if need be and not getting shelled. No James Wood for WSH, which is a nice surprise.
