Washington at Chicago

The Washington Nationals are 18-43 on the road and sure have had their problems. Even bad teams make runs during the long MLB season and the Nats are no exception as they ran off a 17-9 streak. They have since regressed to what they were before the streak, and that is just an awful team. They have subsequently gone just 2-7. The numbers get worse when they face a winning team on the road this season where they enter here with a 9-29 mark. The Cubs have destroyed this kind of team as they are 41-13 at home against a team with a .400 or less winning percentage on the road. They have also gone 10-1 in Wells’ last 11 starts in the role of a favorite and this certainly doesn't look like the spot he will get picked off. I’m going with the Cubs here.
