Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
The Atlanta Braves have the best offense in baseball and lead the league in wRC+ (123) against right-handed pitching. Over the last month, Atlanta’s offense ranks second in wRC+ (134), second in batting average (.289), and first in SLG (.527) against right handed starters.
Jameson Taillon has struggled with consistency this season and although he has been better in the last few months still holds a 5.05 ERA and a 4.46 FIP on the year. This is his first time facing the Braves and his toughest matchup of the season. Atlanta averages the most F5 inning runs per game (3.58) and I expect them to generate runs early once again today.
