Chicago Cubs vs Washington Nationals. The MLB pick for this game is the Chicago Cubs. For the Nationals, who lost 48 of their previous 66 games at Nationals Park, having the home field was not much of a benefit.

Although the starting pitchers for this game are similar, the Cubs’ bullpen and offense were far superior to the Nationals’ lineup.

Chicago just completed a sweep of Miami, so anticipate them settling into this series and picking up another victory on Tuesday. The Cubs will win to a predicted score of 7-4.
