River City Sharps
The Nationals are coming off a successful series against the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers where they took two of three games. They now open up a four game series with the Chicago Cubs as they send Doug Fister to the mound against Travis Wood. The Nationals have actually won 14 of their last 21 games against these Cubbies and Fister has really enjoyed a solid start to his season. In seven of his nine starts this year, he has allowed two runs or less. The Nationals are 7-1 in Fister's last eight starts and it is apparent that the Cubs offense has sputtered against the better pitchers they have faced. Chicago is 16-40 in their last 56 games where they faced a pitcher with a WHIP of less than 1.15. The Sharps are not big fans of big priced road favorites here, but we really like the spot we have here tonight. We really like the way the Nationals are playing right now and think Fister shuts the Cubs down here tonight. The Sharps say...
