The Chicago Cubs are just 5-7 in their last 12 games as they open a series in Atlanta tonight. They have fallen 7.5 games off the pace set by the Milwaukee Brewers. It appears the wild card will be the playoff ticket for the Cubs, who lead San Diego by three games for the top NL wild card. The Braves were expected to be a playoff team this season, but injuries riddled their pitching staff, and they never contended. Atlanta has silently been better over the last month or so of the season, as they are 16-12 over their previous 28 games. The Braves are 18-12 at home with a total of 8 to 8.5 on the season. Make the play on Atlanta.
