Betting Tip

The Atlanta Braves were off on Thursday as they traveled to Chicago for a weekend series with the Cubs. The Braves still have not lost a game in June (14-0) and are coming off a sweep over the Washington Nationals in the State’s capital. This winning streak has closed the division lead by the Mets in the NL East to just 4.5 games which will look even better after the series against the Cubs. This series will provide the Braves a great opportunity to close it even further as Chicago is one of the coldest teams in the league.

They have lost 10 in a row following their 6-4 loss on Thursday and there’s no reason to believe they’ll now come and beat this surging Braves team. The Braves will start Charlie Morton tonight who is 4-3 for the season with a 5.67 ERA while the Cubs will start Keegan Thompson tonight who is 6-2 for the season with a 3.67 ERA. Both teams are heading in opposite directions and that trend will continue on Friday in a blowout win.
