Get Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves predictions, picks, and odds for 5-14, plus MLB best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
Chris Sale has helped save the Braves rotation this year, and he appears to be in for another fine evening vs. the Cubs, per our MLB betting picks.Chris Sale and Jameson Taillon headline what many expect to be a pitching duel, which is what we got Monday night when the Braves won by a slim 2-0 scoreline. Atlanta hopes to pick up a sixth win in seven games, while Chicago hopes to avoid just their third losing streak of the season.front office.
Only two lineups have managed to strike out fewer than seven times when facing Sale, with the Diamondbacks and Guardians having six each. But Arizona has the fourth-lowest strikeout rate in the majors, while Cleveland sits eighth.sit 17th in strikeout rate at 22.9%, and Monday night saw them go down on strikes at a 24.2% clip as they registered eight Ks.
But perhaps the biggest reason I love Sale to get 7+ Ks tonight is the fact that only three Chicago hitters have ever seen his stuff. Those three hitters have a combined 32 plate appearances, and 27 of them belong to Yan Gomes — a player hitting at the Mendoza line this season with a strikeout in nearly 40% of his ABs.
Neither of these teams have consistently posted runs, despite their stacked lineups. Taillon has been strong despite a low strikeout rate, and I anticipate he and Sale keeping this thing low-scoring into the later innings. The 2-0 scoreline from Monday night made it seven straight games of seven or fewer runs for the Braves, and that moves to eight here. The Braves are -190 favorites, with a run line of -1.5 priced at +114.
