Braves vs. Cubs Prediction
BARTOLO projects the Braves for 3.16 runs and the Cubs for 3.75 today, bringing the total under the line.
As potent as these two offenses are, today's starters have done very well against the opposing lineup this season.
Shota Imanaga gets the ball for the Cubs, and he already faced the Braves on May 13, limiting them to five hits and two runs in seven innings pitched.
Meanwhile, JR Ritchie was also the rival pitcher that day, and he gave up just two hits and one run in 4 1/3 innings.
Also, Zerillo's projections show the strength of Atlanta's bullpen, ranked 10th in all of MLB.
With BARTOLO's help, let's back the under in this series finale on Wednesday.
