The Atlanta Braves are in the midst of one of their best starts in franchise history. They are on pace for a 110-52 record while leading MLB in run differential after defeating the pre-season World Series favorites and having shown they are clear favorites in a division that has the high spending Mets and Phillies in it.
Tonight they will face the Chicago Cubs who are arguably the hottest team in MLB despite having lost their two last games. They have two separate ten game winning streaks and had
a fifteen game winning streak at home. If the Braves can win tonight, it could go a long way in continuing to show that the Braves are a real threat to win it all.
Grant Holmes has been the weak link this season in the Braves’ rotation, but despite him having an ERA of 5.13 ERA in his past five starts, the Braves are 4-1 in those games. He will be facing Colin Rea who has a 4.39 ERA in his last five starts.
First pitch is at 7:15 EDT
