THE PROFESSOR’S MLB UPPER-DECK BLOWOUT
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Chi Cubs,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Loss
The first game of the series between the Atlanta Braves and the saw a lot of Drama and two streaks snapped with the Cubs' 1-0 win. The Braves saw their 14-game winning streak end and the Cubs snapped a 10-game losing streak. The Braves will look to start a new streak by sending Kyle Wright to the mound. He is 7-3, with a 2.57 ERA. The Cubs will counter with Justin Steele on the mound. He is 1-5 this season, with a 4.33 ERA. Atlanta is 6-4 in its last 10 games against Chicago. Chicago came away with a much-needed win but will have to put up more runs if they want to win more games. That has been the problem for the Cubs as they hit well against right-handers. Wright hasn’t given up a run in his last two starts on the road. He has given up three runs in two starts against the Cubs. The Braves do well at the plate against left-handers and Steele has given up 13 runs in his last four starts. I like Atlanta to bounce back today and put up some runs against the Cubs.

Play on Atlanta. This is a 7* play.
