The Washington Nationals will look for answers as the second half gets underway. One such answer is Craig Stammen who has really pitched well as he begins to get comfortable and gain confidence. Stammen has a 2.53 ERA in his last three outings, and has averaged better than seven innings per start during the stretch. The Cubs have been a much less team than expected and have not gotten it done on the road. Neither has Zambrano as the Cubs are just 1-4 in his last five road starts, and the Cubs are just 2-5 in his last seven road starts. I'm riding with the Nationals in this one.
