Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
This season, Javier Assad has performed well enough to warrant a closer examination by the Cubs as the underdog. Whether it matters is the question. The Atlanta Braves are on one of those winning streaks when you can practically see the money roll in. The Braves are perhaps the best baseball club when they are winning and playing at a high level. In his own way, Charlie Morton has also performed admirably, particularly at home, where he has an ERA under 3 through 18.2 innings. I’ll seize the opportunity. For the most betting value, give me the Braves and the RL.
