Washington at Chicago

The Washington Nationals have to be hungry to erase the first two games of this series as they have dropped both to the lowly Cubs. Gio Gonzalez will get the ball today for Washington. And after a stellar 2013 season, he has struggled this year, at least until his last start. Gonzalez checked the Brewers on three hits over six scoreless innings, and he looks to be ready to make a strong run. The Cubs are short on pitching and will summon Dallas Beeler to take the ball in the first game of this twinbill. Beeler was not exactly killing it at AAA where he pitched to a 4.03 ERA. Gonzalez has made a living in his MLB career vs. losing teams where he is 16-3 in his last 19 starts against them. The Cubs are just 13-40 following a game where their opponent scored two runs or less. Play Washington in game one of the doubleheader.
