The Braves are off a late loss to the Mets in a game they were winning so they look to bounce back in this spot at home with Lopez on the mound who has been terrific for Atlanta. The Braves respond well in this spot as they are 2-0 straight up off a one run loss to a division rival. With Lopez starting today, the team has won two of his last three starts and they have the better lineup and bullpen over the Cubs. Also at home, Atlanta is 13-4 straight up at home this season as a home favorite of -110 or higher. The Cubs trot out Imanaga who has been sensational for Chicago, however, the edge once again goes to the Braves. The Cubs have done well on the road but against Atlanta on the road, they are 2-11 straight up. The Braves are not allowing teams to get much from them and do well against left handed pitchers.

Best bet: take Atlanta on the moneyline (ML).
