Does the winning streak of the ‘Bravos’ continue?
Two in-form teams from the National League will face each other next night with the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs – betting tip and odds available here! The hosts are in second place and the visitors are in fifth place
Both franchises also have positive balance sheets. The Braves have won around two thirds of their 39 league games and the visiting baseball team from the north of Chicago have a 55.8 percent win rate. The pairing also took place over the last two days. The home side scored victories on both occasions.
In the new clash between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, the forecast includes another success for the “Team of the 90s” with at least a two-run difference. You can find odds for the game at Bet3000 and the bookmaker is currently also offering an attractive bonus for new customers.
Atlanta Braves – Statistics & current form
The strength of the squad from Truist Park so far this season can be seen from the fact that they have lost two or more games in a row in the series against the LA Dodgers and Seattle Mariners alone. In the current series against the Cubs, they are equally solid with a 2-0 win in the first meeting and a 7-0 win last night.
The MLB’s record division winner is convincing on offense, among other things. This can easily be seen from the fact that he ranks fifth in batting average. A positive example in this context is Marcell Ozuna. The 33-year-old from the Dominican Republic has already hit twelve home runs for the team from the Eastern Division this season – tied for second best in the MLB!
Braves pitching stable
In addition, the Braves’ pitching is reliable. They have only allowed 138 runs after 39 league games and the two most recent victories against the Cubs were by zero runs. In view of this, the betting tip and odds on the game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs for a maximum of three runs by the visitors are also worth a recommendation.

As mentioned, the Braves are also in second place in the National League, but are actually in first place in the home standings. Only four of the 19 home games played were lost by the four-time MLB champions, who won in three different “home cities.”
Morton with a maximum of six strikeouts?
Charlie Morton will once again be the starting pitcher. The 40-year-old has started seven times so far this season and four of these encounters have ended in success for the home side. A solid record – but nothing more.
With this in mind, the prediction of fewer than 6.5 strikeouts from him in the clash between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs is also a good one. A limit he has only surpassed in two of his seven games this season
Chicago Cubs – Statistics & current form
The three-time World Series winners, most recently eight years ago, are, like their upcoming opponents, strong at home and occupy second place in the corresponding National League standings. However, the Cubs are weaker away from home. Their away win rate is 45.8 percent, which is only good enough for ninth place in the away ranking.
However, they also have one of the MLB’s top pitchers in Shota Imanaga. The Japanese transferred from the Yokohama DeNA BayStars from Nippon Professional Baseball before the season. The league is the highest in Japan and Imanaga has already shone in it: he was nominated twice as an All-Star in the “Puro Yakyu”
Imanaga has acclimatized quickly
In the MLB, he is now seamlessly continuing his strong performances from the elite level of Japanese baseball. His earned run average is 0.96, which is no less than the best record of any pitcher in Major League Baseball!
In terms of personnel, the situation has also eased for the visitors. Recently injured players such as right fielder Seiya Suzuki and center fielder Cody Bellinger are now available again
Atlanta Braves – Chicago Cubs head-to-head / H2H record
Before the two most recent duels this week, which resulted in defeats for the “North Siders”, the pairing was not a good place for the visitors either. The home side are now on a run of five successes in a row.
Atlanta Braves – Chicago Cubs tip
For the game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs, the prediction is for a home win with at least a two-run difference. The hosts were able to win the first two games of the current series in this form and each time without a run for the guests
Even the use of top pitcher Shota Imanaga in the penultimate duel did not lead to a success for the Cubs. In addition to the enormous quality of the hosts, the home advantage also speaks in favor of the prediction. No other team in the National League has a higher win rate in front of their own fans than the Braves!
