The Cubs will attempt to complete a series sweep in Washington on Thursday afternoon, with the matchup featuring Cubs right-hander Kevin Gausman against Nationals righty Cade Cavalli. Per Bleed Cubbie Blue, Gausman was solid in his first Cubs start last Friday in Kansas City and has not faced the Nationals since 2024, meaning only three current Nationals have faced him.
Yahoo Sports is backing Chicago to win its fourth straight game. The outlet also projects Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit a homer in the contest. The game is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. CT on Thursday, August 13th.
Lineups were not available at the time of initial reporting, per Bleed Cubbie Blue.
