The Cubs and Braves hook up for Game 2 of their three-game set following a 5-2 Braves win on Tuesday. Chicago was rolling on its recent homestand and beat up Texas 7-1 in their first stop of this tour, but the Cubs have since lost three in a row, scoring a total of just two runs. They’ll look to get the offense going today against Braves rookie righty JR Ritchie, who’s making his fourth career start. The Cubs are 10-1 since last year after scoring two runs or less in back-to-back games, averaging 6.5 RPG. They’re 5-1 after three-straight losses, and all five wins were on the road, including once in April this year when they pounded the Padres 8-3. Against a rookie, I’m on the Cubbie bats coming to life. Take the Cubs.

Chicago suddenly stopped hitting following its second 10-game win streak of the season as the Cubs were shut out in two straight games. However, they'll look to get back on track tonight as they face Grant Holmes and the Braves. Holmes allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits in five innings in his last outing against Colorado on Friday. Holmes has a 5.40 ERA in three home games this year. The Cubs have won six of Colin Rea's eight starts, and he has allowed more than two runs just twice. Chicago has won nine in a row against the NL East, and the last seven meetings at Atlanta have gone UNDER. The Cubs have gone UNDER in five of seven, and the Braves in four of five. Atlanta has split its past six games. Take the Cubs and bet this one to stay UNDER.
