After Opening Day, this is another chance to show we&#8217;re ready to compete in the NL Central.<\/p>\n<p>The Nationals (71\u201391 last year) are rebuilding with young talent like Dylan Crews, who made his major league debut on Opening Day. CJ Abrams brings speed and defense at shortstop. Cade Cavalli is back from injury and gets the start today.<\/p>\n<p>We have <strong>Cade Horton<\/strong> making his major league debut on the mound at Wrigley. Jackson Merrill at shortstop.

This is what the rebuild is all about\u2014watching our prospects arrive and prove themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>The Washington Nationals: Young and Rebuilding<\/h2>\n<p><strong>2025 Record: 71\u201391<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Nationals are rebuilding around young talent. Dylan Crews made his debut on Opening Day and showed flashes. CJ Abrams provides speed and defense.

Merrill looked solid on Opening Day. Abrams has elite speed and defense. Good matchup all series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pete Crow-Armstrong vs Dylan Crews in Center<\/strong><br \/>\nPCA has elite defense and showed offensive growth on Opening Day.

Horton earned a rotation spot in spring training. Now he makes his debut at Wrigley against a rebuilding Nationals lineup.

Go 2-0 to start the season and build early momentum.<\/p>\n<h2>What Washington Will Bring<\/h2>\n<p>CJ Abrams will use his speed and defense. Dylan Crews will look to build on his debut performance. Cade Cavalli will try to stay healthy and show his stuff in his season debut.<\/p>\n<p>The Nationals&#8217; young talent will compete, but we should have the advantage at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Cubs Fan Prediction: We Win Game 2 at Wrigley<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Final Score: Cubs 6, Nationals 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cade Horton is solid in his major league debut\u2014five innings, three runs, seven strikeouts. Not dominant, but a quality first start at Wrigley. The crowd loves it.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Merrill goes 2-for-4 with an RBI. Pete Crow-Armstrong makes another highlight catch and drives in two. Matt Shaw provides a clutch pinch-hit.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Crews goes 2-for-4 with a homer, continuing to show his talent. But our depth and home field advantage give us the win.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re 2-0 to start the season. Horton&#8217;s debut was solid. Momentum is building.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Game 2 Matters<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s early in the season, but starting 2-0 at home matters. Cade Horton makes his major league debut at Wrigley. Our young core keeps building.<\/p>\n<p>The Nationals are rebuilding. We should beat them at home. Go 2-0 and build early momentum in the NL Central.<\/p>\n<p>We went 78\u201384 last year. The Brewers won the Central at 86\u201376. Every win matters as we try to close that gap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go Cubs Go!!!
