AAA's 10* Afternoon N.L. GAME OF MONTH - +$6.7K MLB Y-T-D!
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Washington,
Money Line: -140.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Washington Nationals.

This is the rubber match of a three game set, the Nats took Game 1 on Monday and the Cubs would hold on for the victory last night. A couple of the league's best go head-to-head, but we think the home side has the small advantage. Jason Hammel (7-2, 2.36 ERA) is 9-0 with a 3.16 ERA lifetime vs. the Nationals. Washington has primarily been a right-handed hitting team, which has benefited Hammel in the past, but that's now changed with the addition of left-batting slugger Daniel Murphy, who leads the majors in hitting in his first season with the Nationals. The home side counters with ace Stephen Strasburg (10-0, 3.03) who only faced the Cubs once back in 2013. As good as Hammel has been to this point, we're giving Strasburg the slight nod in this match-up because of home field advantage. All things considered, the price is right, we like the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night and don't be surprised to see Murphy have a big night. Play on WASHINGTON.
