Here is the preview from Field Level Media:https://t.co/oSVd5DAqaN
The Nationals enter this game coming off a 5-2 victory Saturday. Pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (2-2) will get the start and look to simply keep his head above water in this one, as he allowed five earned runs in his last outing to go with four walks and five hits. His ERA sits at a miserable 6.00, and Sunday's matchup does not present an easy chance to lower that number as he stares down the loaded Cubbies.
@GUnit_81 Also, here’s something to look at tomorrow. Jeremy Hellickson has allowed a first inning run in each of his last 5 starts with 14.40 first inning ERA in those starts. Cubs are +280 -0.5 first inning tomorrow.

Kyle Hendricks (3-4) will get the start with an eye toward continuing his tremendous run of form in May. Hendricks currently has a 0.36 ERA this month, with 17 strikeouts in 25 innings, and should have a good shot at improving upon those numbers under the lights.

The Cubs have scored 140 runs on the road, which is the third-highest total in all of baseball. Between the offensive dominance on the road and Hendricks' incredible run, they're rightly favored to prevail in this one tonight.
