Washington Nationals vs Chicago Cubs Prediction: Expect a high-offensive game

Nationals Park will host Major League Baseball between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. Both teams are coming off a series win. How will they approach this encounter?

The Washington Nationals last series was against the New York Yankees and they won. In that series, the Washington Nationals started with a 2-5 defeat. In the meantime, this team stepped up in game 2, winning 4-2 while winning 5-2 in the finale. In the meantime, the Washington Nationals lost their previous series to this, losing to the Atlanta Braves. However, the Washington Nationals have now lost 73 matches this season while winning 61, leaving them seated 13th in the National League. 

The Chicago Cubs are coming off a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and they secured a win. In that series, the Chicago Cubs won each game, conceding 23 runs. In the opener, the Chicago Cubs secured an 8-18 victory, and in game 2, won 5-9. In the meantime, their finale ended in a 10-14 tough encounter, extending their record to 9-3 in their last 11 matches. This season, the Chicago Cubs have won 68 games in the National League, while losing 66.  

I expect the two teams to be at their best in this series following a strong play last time out. While the Chicago Cubs are the better team, I expect them to win here. In the meantime, the Washington Nationals at home are not expected to slack at home in this one, therefore scoring a number of runs.
