The Atlanta Braves are trailing the Phillies on the East, but it isn't because they haven't played well as they are off to a 24-13 start. The Braves pitching has been outstanding. They have allowed four or fewer runs in all but 11 games, and even those 11 games where the opponent scored five or more runs, they went 4-7 in those games. The Cubs have Shota Imanaga on the mound he has been no less than sensational on the season as he is 7-0 in his first seven big league decisions. I think the Braves have the right balance of hitting and pitching, and will be at home. I like Atlanta in this one.
