I like the Chicago Cubs to come through with a big performance here as they seek to snap a four-game losing streak and deny the Braves to complete the sweep this three-game series.

Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish (0-0, 10.13 ERA) was coming off a solid spring (2.25 ERA) but walked seven hitters and was knocked around for three runs in 2 2/3 innings in his season debut. He's so much better than that and has this Atlanta team limited to a .216 batting average.

The Braves hand the ball to left-hander Max Fried (0-0, 0.00 ERA). Fried has logged 1 2/3 scoreless innings out of the bullpen but will make his first start for the season here.

The Cubs must be very disappointed with their 1-4 record and the books are giving us a good price on Chicago here due to its slow start.

8* play on Chicago Cubs.
