Yesterday’s Results for Washington Nationals vs Chicago Cubs

139-96 RUN! EARLY MLB BEST BET BLOWOUT!

Analysis: My selection is on Chicago over Washington at 2:20 pm et on Wednesday. The Nationals evened this series at a game apiece with a 6-5 victory last night at Wrigley Field but I look for the Cubs to answer right back on Wednesday. Josiah Gray will take the ball for Washington. He checks in with a 5.72 FIP and 1.31 WHIP this season while allowing just north of 5.0 runs per nine innings. Behind Gray is an awful Nats bullpen that has posted a collective 6.59 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over the last seven games and has been generally awful on the road this season (5.56 ERA and 1.49 WHIP). Justin Steele will counter for the Cubs. The fact that he's a left-hander already gives him a leg up on the Nats, noting that they've gone a woeful 11-25 against southpaw starters this season. Steele enters this start with a 3.34 FIP and 1.41 WHIP having allowed just over 4.6 runs per nine innings. The Cubs bullpen has been a bright spot overall this season and checks in with a 3.90 ERA and 1.27 WHIP at home this season. Take Chicago (8*).
