Nationals vs. Cubs Betting Odds

8:05 p.m. ET

Happy Monday to you all! We crushed it last week on free plays and will look to repeat that performance this week. We will start the week with some MLB and end with the NFL preseason fully kicking off.

The Cubs are coming off a series win where they held the Marlins to a combined 4 runs through three games.

Tonight they will have their ace on the mound, Keegan Thompson, who is 8-5 on the year with a 3.48 ERA. Thompson has been a beast at home. He sports a 2.50 ERA and should have a lot of success tonight against this struggling Nationals team. 

The Nationals have lost their last five games. They are expected to lose their sixth straight tonight based on the odds.

They will have Anibal Sanchez pitching for them tonight, who is 0-4 with a 7.65 ERA. I expect the Cubs to smack around Sanchez tonight and have an excellent performance from Thompson.

Let’s see the Cubs start their series against the Nationals strong tonight!
