Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Professor as he is nicknamed will look to deliver a strong outing this afternoon and get his team a rare sweep. This has not been familiar territory for a struggling Cubbies team this season. Atalanta will send right hander Ian Anderson to the mound tonight. Anderson has been up and down this year but when he is locked in he is one of the best in all of baseball. The Braves have not been swept in a long time and Anderson will look to prevent that from happening today. Atalanta currently holds onto one of the wildcard spots in the national league but would love to salvage the series with a big road win today.
I am backing the Braves here again today on the moneyline. We can win this series betting if we get this one today after we hit in the Cubs in game one and lost yesterday with the Braves. I would be shocked if Atlanta gets swept here with the pitching advantage today. Their bats are too good to be held down for a third straight game and Hendricks has looked very hittable this season. This should be a perfect bounce back spot for Atalanta today and I have this line closer to -200 so a no Brainer of a bet for me!
