Before making any Braves vs. Cubs picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and it is off to a strong start to the 2022 season. It's on a 55-42 roll on top-rated MLB money-line picks through 10 weeks, returning over $600 for $100 players. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows the Braves have the most powerful offense in the National League. Atlanta leads the NL in home runs and slugging percentage, with off-the-charts numbers in the month of June. The Braves are also deploying a tremendous starting pitcher on Saturday in Kyle Wright. Wright has a 2.13 ERA in the the last six starts and a sparkling 2.57 ERA for the full 2022 season. That includes a 1.96 ERA on the road, and opponents are slugging only .276 against Wright this season.

The model also knows the Cubs have a quality starter in Justin Steele. The 26-year-old left-hander has a 2.37 ERA in his last three starts, and he is very good at home. Steele has a 3.26 ERA at Wrigley Field, with opponents posting only a .585 OPS against him. He has allowed more than three runs in only two of 12 starts this season, and the Braves are one of the teams most vulnerable to strikeouts in the National League.

Now, it has set its sights on Braves vs. Cubs. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one team has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
