Chicago is off to a terrible start in all facets of the game, and it was the relief pitching that collapsed on Wednesday when it gave up five walks in the eighth inning to hand the Braves a 6-4 victory. Yu Darvish goes for the Cubs tonight, and he didn't make it out of the third inning on Saturday when he allowed three runs and walked seven in an 8-6 loss at Texas. Darvish hasn't looked good since he came back from surgery a couple of years ago, and he had a 4.95 ERA in eight games last year. Max Fried will make his first start of the season after starting five games in 2018 and finishing with a 2.94 ERA overall. Chicago has lost four in a row while Atlanta has won eight of its last nine home games, and it has seven straight wins versus right-handed starters overall dating to last season. Take the Braves.
