Pick

Both of these teams have struggled in recent games, but the Cubs come into this game with a winning record. The Cubs have hit the ball very well to start this season and they are in the top ten in runs scored in the MLB. Washington is towards the bottom of the MLB in runs scored and they have a 4.48 team ERA this year. Chicago is starting Marcus Stroman, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Washington is starting Jake Irvin, who is making his season debut. I like the Cubs to generate a good amount of offense in this game, while Stroman will keep the Nationals in check. Take the Cubs -1.5 here.
