Chicago at Atlanta

May 12, 2026
img7:15 PM Eastern

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.
