Braves vs Cubs Preview, Parlay Picks
Shota Imanaga Over 17.5 Outs
Tuesday night the Cubs will look to continue their win streak as ace Shota Imanaga takes the mound.
We are backing Shota to go over 17.5 outs. He has covered this number in five straight games, throwing three consecutive 7-inning gems.
He’s in a great spot tonight to continue the trend.
Cubs ML
The Braves are basically playing for nothing at this point. Already eliminated from the playoffs, this team is just looking for September to end.
On the other hand, the Cubs are currently the top Wild Card seed in the NL. After the Brewers’ loss last night to the Phillies, the gap in the NL Central has shrunk to five games.
With that in mind, we’re backing the Cubs to win tonight—better pitching, a team playing for something, and home-field advantage.
Look for the Cubs to continue their winning ways and close the gap in the division.
