That team makes mincemeat out of RHP (#1 wRC+ excluding pitchers hitting) and the Nats hit LHP really well (#5). The first 2 games could be crazy slugfests. This match-up is very interesting. It's a shame that the Nats are so banged up because it will be tough for them to win but I'm definitely pulling for them because I think we could horsefeathers them up and the Dodgers offense could be a tough draw for our RHP.
The Cubs offense without the pitchers hitting stats posted a 113 wRC+ which equaled Boston who had pretty much the greatest DH ever having a total renaissance. They're very much even and on a NL field, I think we edge them out, quite clearly.
