The Washington Nationals will look to put last postseason’s demons behind them as they head to Wrigley Field to face the Chicago Cubs. Things have hardly been plain sailing on the north side, but they still lead the NL Central.

Joining Blake Finey on the DoDCast to look ahead to the series is Climbing The Ivy host and Cubbies Crib contributor, Alex Patt. On this edition of the podcast, they discuss the following:
- The Nationals disappointing split with the Atlanta Braves
- The incident between Juan Soto and Greg Gibson on Wednesday
- What has changed for the Cubs since last year’s NLDS?
- Who should be watching out for in Chicago?
- Previewing and predicting each pitching matchup individually
