Chicago at Washington

The Nationals are horrible and things haven't gotten better even after the manager change. So no one wants to back this team. But this is a great opportunity to do just that. The Cubs are favored here despite a 19-25 road record and a starting pitcher who has seen a total of just 10.7 innings in five games, being called up from Triple-A. The Nats also go with an unproven pitcher but at least he is at home. The Cubs are managing just 3.8 runs per game on the road this season. I like the Nats at home here.
