Braves vs Cubs Preview, Parlay Picks
The Cubs look to bounce back after a loss on Sunday.
Chicago will hand the ball to veteran Collin Rea. Rea has been solid this season and should slow down the Braves lineup today.
Spencer Strider takes the mound for Atlanta. Strider has been a tough fade this year, posting a 4.96 ERA.
He’s expected to continue struggling against this Cubs lineup tonight.
Olson has enjoyed a strong season so far.
The veteran leads the Braves in batting average, home runs, and RBIs.
Atlanta’s first baseman also has a strong track record against Rea in his career, with three hits in seven at-bats (.429).
