Three of the top five rotation guys are on the DL, but all three are expected back for the playoffs which is very good news.
On the mound for the Nationals is Edwin Jackson who has only made three starts for the Nationals after coming over from the Baltimore Orioles.
In his last start against Colorado he was really good going seven innings and giving up four hits and one run.
Chicago Cubs
On the other side of this match up is the Chicago Cubs, who look to be in good shape to make the playoffs, but the Brewers aren’t too far behind so they need to continue to win.
In the first game of the series they couldn’t get their bats woken up and it led to a defeat.
On the mound for the Cubs in this one is John Lackey who was inconsistent at the beginning of the year, but has been pitching a lot better now.

In each of his last three starts he has gone at least five innings and given up two runs or less.
