Sunday's comp play will be the Nats and Cubs Under the total.
ESPN picked a good game to showcase, as Washington will send Max Scherzer to the mound, while the home team Chicago Cubs will go with their new trade piece, Cole Hamels.
Scherzer has worked his last 4 starts without allowing any more than 2 runs in any of those efforts. He has logged 27 innings with just 6 runs - only 5 earned - allowed as his season ERA stands at a lowly 2.28.
Since coming over to the Cubs, Hamels has turned in 11 innings of work with 11 strikeouts, and just 2 runs - only 1 earned - allowed.
The Nationals are 5-2-1 Under (no sat) their last 9 games, while the Cubs are 6-2 Under (no sat) their last 9 games contested.
Sit back tonight, open up a cold one, and watch a pair of pitchers on top of their craft baffle the batters this Sunday night.
Nationals and Cubs to close their series Under the total.
4* WASHINGTON-CUBS UNDER
