The Washington Nationals are 37-75 this season and have lost six of their last seven games. Washington won Game 2 of this series by a score of 6-5 on Tuesday night. The Washington pitching staff has a 5.32 ERA, a 1.48 WHIP, and a .272 opponent batting average this season. The Nationals offense has scored 427 runs with a .248 batting average and a .315 on base percentage. Nelson Cruz is batting .233 with eight home runs and 52 RBI’s for the Nationals this season. The projected starter for Washington is Josiah Gray, who is 7-8 with a 4.92 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP over 106 innings pitched this season.
The Chicago Cubs are 44-65 this season and have won three of their last five games. Chicago won Game 1 of this series by a score of 6-3 on Monday night. The Chicago pitching staff has a 4.32 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and a .250 opponent batting average. The Cubs offense has scored 450 runs with a .243 batting average and a .317 on base percentage this year. Patrick Wisdom is batting .220 with 20 home runs and 52 RBI’s for the Cubs this season. The projected starter for Chicago is Justin Steele, who is 4-7 with a 3.67 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP over 95.2 innings pitched this season.
Washington is 16-40 in their last 56 games and 0-4 in their last 4 Wednesday games. The over is 5-0-2 in Washington’s last 7 games. Chicago is 6-2 in their last 8 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 game three’s of a series. The under is 7-2-1 in Chicago’s last 10 home games. The over is 8-3-2 in these two teams last 13 head to head meetings.
The first two games of this series has had a good amount of runs scored and I expect more of the same here. Josiah Gray has allowed 12 runs in his last 15 innings of work for Washington. For Chicago, Justin Steele has allowed four earned runs in his last 14.2 innings pitched. I am taking the Cubs to win this game by a couple of runs against a weak Washington pitching staff.
