Nationals vs. Cubs Prediction: Thursday, September 19th
Anytime you get Patrick Corbin on the mound for the Nationals there’s a bet coming from me against him, you can believe that! The Cubs offense has been on a tear lately as well with 26 runs in the past 5 games.
Corbin is an awful pitcher overall but he’s even worse on the road where his ERA balloons to 6.58 for the season and the OBA is .347! He’s going to get shelled tonight so give me the Cubs to go over their run total of 4.5 as my first wager.
The other wager on this game will come on a Cubs bat as Corbin is vulnerable to right-handed hitting. Against the righties this season he has allowed an average of .313 and an OPS of .877, plus 21 of his 23 homers given up this season have been to righties.
That means Isaac Paredes should have a big day hitting as he’s gone for a .324 average against lefties this season and will hit 5th in the middle of this great lineup. He should have no trouble going over his hits/runs/RBIs prop tonight.
- Expert Nationals vs. Cubs Picks:
- Cubs Team Total Over 4.5 Runs (-110 on DraftKings)
- Isaac Paredes (CHC) Over 1.5 Hits/Runs/RBIs (-130 on DraftKings)
