Have to go with what seems to be an inspired Cubs team going for a rare sweep. Dempster has been pretty solid vs. the Nats in his career (6-1, 3.50 ERA) and has been even better in August (3-0, 1.65 ERA). Jason Marquis is coming off an OK start, however had runners on base just about every inning. He has been horrible in the games he has pitched, and hasn't been healthy all year. Think Dempster can get it to the 7th where Marshall and Marmol can close it out and start the new skipper 3-0.
Cubs -105
Good luck
