ASA top play 10* on OVER 10 Chicago Cubs vs Washington Nationals, 2:20 PM ET - The wind is expected to be blowing out toward left field or left-center field at about a 15 mph clip on a mild afternoon at Wrigley Field. Day games tend to get crazy with weather like this in Chicago at this time of year and the situation, based on this pitching match-up, is ideal for a back and forth high-scoring affair in this one. The Nationals start Joe Ross. The Washington right-hander has a 5.80 ERA this season and if he finishes the season north of a 5.00 ERA it will be his 4th straight year doing so! Ross just got rocked for 8 earned runs in 4 innings in his most recent start and this followed a start in which he was in a lot of jams because of 5 walks in 5 innings. Ross skipped the 2020 season and only made 3 starts in 2018. So to see some full season results on him you have to look more at his 2019 and 2017 stats. Well, in 2019 day games he was hit at a .312 clip. In 2017 afternoon games he was hit at a .328 clip! A day game with hitter-friendly weather at Wrigley Field is highly unlikely to help Ross. As for his counterpart, Trevor Williams, plenty of struggles are also expected. The Cubs right-hander has not even totaled 9 innings in his last 3 starts combined and he has been rocked for 10 runs on 15 hits in those short outings! Just like last season, opponents are hitting about .300 against Williams and he has gone a combined 4-10 with a 6.22 ERA since the start of the 2020 season. In 2019 he had a 5.38 ERA. Williams has a 9.00 ERA in 5 day starts this season and had a 10.24 ERA in his 2 afternoon starts last season! Washington is hitting .260 in road games this season and that is #1 in the National League. The Cubs have hit 32 homers at home to rank 4th in the majors in that category. With the wind blowing out, Chicago is very likely to add a few to that total today! We look for plenty of runs from both sides in this one! Bet Over
