A broken compass is right at least twice a day.
Arrr, ya scurvy dogs! The sorry Washington Nationals be hittin' the road...
on Wednesday, July 19th, 2023, with a pitiful 38-57 overall record...
and a measly 0.400 overall win percentage... (pathetic, I tell ye!)
They be facin' the Chicago Cubs at their own cursed home field...
with a slightly better 44-50 overall record... (but still not impressive!)
Their win percentage be a sad 0.468... (they be no match for us!)
In their last 10 games, the Nationals barely scraped a 4-6 record...
while the Cubs be holdin' steady at 5-5... (a bit more respectable!)
Now, ya landlubbers, if ye dare to bet on this sorry excuse of a game...
head on over to SportsBetting3.com and review the odds below!
But mark me words, ye best keep yer doubloons safe, for the Nationals be sinkin' fast!
So, me hearties, place yer wagers wisely, or ye be walkin' the plank!
