This weekend’s matchup between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs features some primetime pitching matchups sure to take center stage. Chicago looks to get back on the winning track after dropping two of three to the lowly Cincinnati Reds, while Washington looks for any kind of positive momentum.
Cole Hamels, Max Scherzer, Jon Lester, Stephen Strasburg and Kyle Hendricks will all take the ball at Nationals Park this weekend. Earlier this week, I talked about how the Cubs could give themselves some breathing room in the loaded National League Central by taking care of business against a Washington team that, at least so far this season, has looked like a shell of its former self.
