Cash Out Sports Picks said the Chicago Cubs moneyline was the best side because Washington has scored only 3.3 runs per game over its last ten and sends Andrew Alvarez out for just his second career start after blanking a weak Marlins lineup. Chicago, meanwhile, is averaging five runs per game during that same span, owns the deeper order, and will open with Drew Pomeranz in a planned bullpen game that lets them mix and match and keep the light-hitting Nationals off balance. Added postseason urgency and home-field comfort at Wrigley gave the tout enough edges to fade Washington and ride Chicago.
