The set-up: Don't look now, but the hungry Braves have won two in a row, beating the Marlins 7-6, and then getting the better of the Cubs in the opener of this series yesterday 5-2. Now, with the superior starting pitcher on the hill for them on Saturday afternoon, I expect the visiting side to find a way to get the job done here as well. The Braves hand the ball to Huascar Ynoa, who is 0-0 with a 0.75 ERA, to go along with 15 K's over three appearances (has piched 12 innings, conceding just a single run off six hits.)

The pick: That's bad news for a Cubs team which has planted just 32 runs over 12 games. It's also bad news for their starter Trevor Williams, who is 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA. Chicago is just 3-7 in its last ten at home while the Braves are 9-4 in their last 13 following a victory. Look for the Braves' bats to wake up here and for Ynoa to easily get the better of his "gas can" counterpart.

This is an 8* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Braves.
