The Chicago Cubs will try to snap a three-game win streak in Tuesday’s Game 2 against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park.
Current Form:
The Cubs still own the No.1 wild card spot in the National League despite losing their last games. At 81-63, Chicago are five games ahead of the No.2 team in the wild card race, the 79-65 San Diego Padres. Over the last five games, the Cubs have pitched a 4.50 ERA and batted .197 with 3.5 runs per game.
The Braves have gone 3-2 in their last five games to improve their record to 65-79. While Atlanta is technically still in the race for a wild-card slot in the National League, it would take a miracle for the Braves to catch up with the Mets, who occupy the third wild-card slot with a 760-68 record. Atlanta’s pitching numbers over the last five games remain subpar as they have posted a 6.00 ERA while allowing 2.0 home runs per game in the stretch. Offensively, the Braves have batted .222 with 3.6 runs per game in the five-game stretch.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves Prediction
Expect the Cubs to secure a comfortable win over the Braves on Tuesday, snapping their three-game losing streak. The Cubs will start right-handed pitcher Cade Horton, who has commanded an impressive 1.48 ERA across his last five mound appearances. Horton should fare well against a Braves offense that has averaged 3.6 runs per game on a .222 batting average in the last five games. Horton blanked the Braves through five innings in his September 3 start, resulting in the Cubs’ 5-1 win.
Meanwhile, the Braves did not win a single game in Spencer Strider’s last five starts. Strider is 0-5 with a horrific 9.13 ERA in his last five mound appearances. The last time Strider faced the Cubs, he gave up three runs over 5.0 innings in a 6-7 loss to Chicago on September 1.
Our betting prediction for the Chicago Cubs vs. the Atlanta Braves: the Cubs -1.5 Runs
