Atlanta at Chicago

Premium Pick

Atlanta is looking to clinch the division soon, but September has not been kind. The Braves are hitting an NL-worst .220 in September, and they are 2-5 in their last seven games against a right-handed starter. They face Cubs righty Edwin Jackson (8-16, 4.75), who has a 3.18 ERA in his past four starts. He has allowed only four homers in 72 innings at home.  Chicago has won two of its last three games, winning as a dog each time, and this is the third game of a six-game home stand. They shut down the struggling Atlanta offense yesterday, 3-1, as a +120 puppy. Atlanta has lost four of six games, including twice as chalk. Braves righty Julio Teheran is better at home than on the road, where he is 5-4 and has allowed 12 of his 21 homers -- and Wrigley Field is no easy place to pitch! He has faced the Cubs once this season and got bombed, allowing five runs and eight hits in five innings. Play the Cubs.
