Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves Prediction: Cubs hoping to end their poor run

Sloan Park will host the Major League Baseball encounter between the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves. The two teams could not pick a win in their last game. Which team wins here? Below is a full game preview with betting opportunities. 

Chicago Cubs

The Chicago Cubs played the Oakland Athletics in their last game and lost. In a one-sided 1-8 contest, the Chicago Cubs struggled and could only score in the sixth inning. However, that defeat extended the Chicago Cubs’ losing streak to five. In fact, the home team has only one win in their last eight matches, coming against the Yomiuri Giants in a friendly fixture. In other matches, the Chicago Cubs lost to the Hanshin Tigers, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and Colorado Rockies. 

Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves will hope to extend their unbeaten run with a win following a 5-5 draw with the Baltimore Orioles the last time out. In the meantime, that draw was their second in a row, having been held to a goalless draw by the Detroit Tigers in a prior fixture. However, other encounters saw the Atlanta Braves pick up wins over the Philadelphia Phillies, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Yankees. Ahead of this game, the Atlanta Braves have 12 wins in their 29 preseason matches as they sit in 8th spot in the Grapefruit standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Cubs have been poor in this preseason, and with the way they play, it is just too tough to back them. However, the Atlanta Braves have been playing excellently well lately, and I believe they will come into this game with confidence. Yet, the Chicago Cubs won’t continue to lose, and I feel this game could be the one they change their fate.
