Chicago Cubs
The Cubs seemed to flip a switch a few weeks back and are in great form right now. They are third in scoring and third in team ERA so there is a great base for them being one of the best teams in the league. Javy Baez is showing that last season’s breakout was not a fluke. He is leading the team in hitting, homers and RBI. This has the potential of being a great lineup.

Friday looks like Cole Hamels’ turn in the rotation and I am not sure why that has not been “announced”. Hamels has been really good since returning to the NL and the Cubs are 6-2 in his starts this season. Chicago is missing some key bullpen arms but it getting by. The bullpen has been really good at home and not so good on the road though.
Washington Nationals
Washington got a solid win over the Mets on Wednesday and will be looking to win Thursday to take the series. They stay at home but a visit from the Cubs is not going to be easy this weekend. Trea Turner is their offensive catalyst and it is possible he returns this weekend. The offense should be producing more that’s for sure. The pitching has been a letdown.

Max Scherzer looks OK but the results just haven’t been there. His peripherals look great but the betting world is the one place it is all about wins and losses and he is just 2-4. Been burned a couple of times but I am still willing to back this horse. The bullpen does not provide much help though. He could easily pitch a complete game gem though.
