After going nearly a month without a series win, the Washington Nationals have a chance to accomplish their second series win in a row against the Chicago Cubs tonight. Sportsbooks opened the Cubs as -133 road favorites with a total of 10.
Despite the aforementioned Cubs UNDER trend, I’m going against the grain and taking the OVER in this one. Hellickson’s numbers at home are brutal this season and I expect the Cubs offense to take full advantage of his struggles in D.C.
With 27 runs scored in the first two games of the series, expect to see more offensive fireworks in this one.
The Cubs are 4-0 SU in Hendricks' last four starts vs the Nationals. The UNDER is 8-2 in the Cubs' last 10 games.away The Nationals are 1-4 SU in Hellickson's last five starts.home
