Chicago at Washington

The Washington Nationals were odds-on favorites to win it all before the season started, and they moved to five games over .500 with their win last night. They look to keep the momentum building tonight behind Joe Ross, the younger brother of San Diego pitcher, Tyson Ross. Ross had a 2.81 ERA in AA before the call up, and will make his MLB debut tonight. The Cubs' offense has been in a free fall over their last 11 games, as they have produced a woeful 2.6 runs per game in the 11 game stretch. The Cubs have fared poorly in games with low totals, logging a 7-20 mark in their last 27 to a total of 6.5 or less, and that includes 0-4 behind Hammel. The Nats are now 38-16 at home in their last 54 vs. a team with a losing road record. Play on Washington.
