Chicago Cubs
The Cubs lost their third game in a row on Monday, 8–0 in Atlanta. Five Braves combined to shutout the Cubs’ offense, while Kyle Hendricks gave up 10 hits and walked three in a rough season debut.
Jon Lester was on the mound for Chicago’s first win of the season in Texas. It was also the last victory for the club. He gave up four hits and two runs in six good innings, though he struck out just three with two walks.

Joe Maddon is back to Lester in the rotation because he used Jose Quintana as a piggy-back on a poor start by Yu Darvish against his former team. With two days off between the Cubs’ first game and fourth, Lester will have had plenty of rest.
Atlanta Braves
The first eight players in the Braves’ lineup had at least a hit in Monday’s 8–0 win, their first of the 2019 season.
Josh Donaldson had two hits and scores a run from the 2-hole. The batters from No. 2 to No. 7 all walked in Atlanta’s lineup, too.

Julio Teheran lost his first start of the season in Philly. He went five innings and struck out seven but gave up four hits and three earned runs.

Free Chicago Cubs vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction: over.
Lester’s strikeout numbers are just a wee bit concerning. The Cubs’ lineup can really rake, though. It feels like both teams are good for four runs, or so, with potential for more.
