With a solid record of 81-60, Chicago has been riding a wave of success this season, while the Nationals, struggling at 56-84, have had a dismal campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In their previous matchup, the Cubs came out on top, winning 11-5, showcasing their potent offense, which ranks as the 9th best in MLB this season. The Cubs will send Matthew Boyd to the mound, who enters the game with a solid Win\/Loss record of 12-7 and an impressive ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">2.94<\/a>. Although Boyd&#8217;s xFIP of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.05<\/a> suggests some luck in his performance, he has proven to be a reliable starter, averaging 5.6 innings pitched today with projections for 1.8 earned runs and 6.2 strikeouts\u2014numbers that indicate a strong outing.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Nationals will counter with Brad Lord, who has struggled recently, allowing 7 earned runs in just 3 innings in his last start. With a Win\/Loss record of 4-8 and an ERA of <a href=\"https:\/\/evanalytics.com\/mlb\/player-stats\/earned-run-average\">4.34<\/a>, Lord&#8217;s low strikeout rate of 19.5% may not bode well against a Cubs offense that ranks 3rd in MLB in fewest strikeouts. Furthermore, with a lowly projected team total of just 3.29 runs for this game, the Nationals&#8217; offensive woes are clear, particularly given their 28th rank in home runs this season.<\/p>\n<p>With Cubs&#8217; strong bullpen, currently rated 7th in MLB, and their impressive offensive capabilities, Chicago looks set to continue their winning ways against a struggling Nationals team. Expect the Cubs to build on their recent momentum and capitalize on the Nationals&#8217; pitching difficulties in this matchup.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin: 3rem 0 0 0;\">Washington Nationals Insights<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Washington Nationals &#8211;  1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+175)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">In his previous start, Bradley Lord was rolling and gave up 0 ER.<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0 1.5rem;\"><small><em><strong>Explain:<\/strong> A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.75rem 0;\"><strong>Jacob Young &#8211; Over\/Under 0.5 Hits (-150\/+115)<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; margin: 0.25rem 0;\">When it comes to his batting average, Jacob Young has had some very poor luck this year.
