Premium Pick

Chicago gets to face former teammate Jon Lester, who will be making his fourth start. Lester is 0-1 this year and the Nationals have not provided a lot of run support. Washington has won three of its past four games, but still sits in last place in the NL East. The Cubs come off a 5-1 win over Detroit for their second win in three games. Adbert Alzolay goes for the Cubs and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last five starts. He went six innings and gave up three runs on five hits vs. Cleveland on Tuesday. The UNDER is 25-8-2 in Chicago's past 35 games as a favorite and the Cubs are 20-8 UNDER their past 28 vs. left-handed starters. Washington is 18-6-2 UNDER its past 26 games overall and 13-3-2 as an underdog. Take the Cubs and the UNDER.
