The Cubs stole the series opener yesterday but that should be their last win of the series. The Braves have Kyle Wright on the mound who has been phenomenal this year. Wright has a 1.96 road ERA and should dominate this Cubs lineup. The Braves offense was MIA yesterday and should bounce back today. Laying the extra run at -120.
The Braves got absolutely dominated yesterday as they were unable to score to end their 14-game win streak. They should be much more focused today, and they are facing a lefty in Justin Steele. This team is much better against lefties. Justin Steele can definitely dominate but I like the Braves chances as the second-best team in the league in wOBA against lefties. Kyle Wright has been very good this season and I think he will have success against a Cubs team that struggles against righties. The Braves have had one of the best bullpens in the league in the last month while the Cubs have had one of the worst. I like the Braves to bounce back today.
On Friday the Cubs ended Atlanta's 14-game winning streak while stopping their own 10-game skid. I don't think this will be the start of a trend. On Saturday Chicago sends out Justin Steele (1-5) against Kyle Wright (7-3). My model says the Braves win 68 percent of the time with an average score of 5.9-4.1, so you're getting good value with Atlanta at this number.
