The opening series is behind us and this second series will feature the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago Cubs. Both teams struggled in their opening series and will be looking to get back on track.
These teams split last years series, each winning 3 games.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs opened their season in Texas, but only managed to come away with one win. They are currently on a two-game losing streak after winning their opening day game 12-4.
The Cubs had a ton of offense in this three game series, scoring 12, 6, and 10 runs. Unfortunately, for the Cubs all the runs they scored were not enough to take down the Rangers. Now heading to Atlanta, the Cubs will hope to keep their offense rolling and work on playing better defensively.

The defense was excellent on opening day as they allowed just 4 runs. Things took a turn as they then allowed 8 and 11 runs in the next two games , which is why they lost the series. In the series finale, they lost the game on a wild pitch that brought home the Rangers final run. Look for the Cubs to focus on their pitching heading into this series with the Braves.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves had a bad time in Philly as they were swept by their NL East rivals. Unfortunately for them, this was Bryce Harper’s Phillies debut so the crowd was fired up.
The offense for the Braves could not seem to get things going at times in this series. They did make a late rally in game one, but failed to complete the comeback. In game two, they got out to an early lead, but sputtered after that so drop yet another. Finally in the series finale, they only managed to score one run, which is almost never going to be good enough, especially with the lineup the Phillies have.

Walks were yet again a huge problem for the Braves in this series, which led to a lot more runs scored. They are dealing with quite a few pitching injuries so expect them to be better in this series with Chicago. The main key for the Braves will be to limit the walks. If they do that, they should be able to get into the win column.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction:
The Braves were crushed in three straight games and will be happy to be home. Look for the Braves offense to get hot in their own ballpark and they finally pick up their first win.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: UNDER 8
My lean is on the Braves in this game to get things back on track at SunTrust Park. Newcomb will have a great outing and limit this Cubs offense so the total goes under.
