The Nationals have their ace on the mound with Strasburg who has been waiting for this moment for quite some time and he has been lights out with a 2.52 ERA this year, has put together 9 of 10 strong outings and out of those 10 outings he has held opponents to 0 runs over his last 7 starts starts which is very impressive.
Cubs starter Hendricks was phenomenal against St. Louis in his last start striking out 9 batters and giving up just 4 hits in 5 innings and only 1 walk. He has put together 10 straight quality starts
Look for both pitchers to be on their game and this one to stay UNDER the total on Friday night in DC.
