The Cubs, on the other hand, have lost their last ten games, bringing their record to 23-40.Â
This game is the first in a three-game series between the two National League foes. The Braves are coming off a three-game series against the Nationals where they outscored them by at least four runs every game. If the Braves win today, this will tie for the longest winning streak since 2000.Â
The Cubs had a four-game series against the Padres where they were outscored 41 to 15. Chicago needs to find a way to improve this season if they want any chance at a playoff run in the fall.
Keegan Thompson is the projected starter for the Cubs with a 6-2 record and a 3.67 ERA. Charlie Morton is starting for the Braves and is 4-3 with a 5.67 ERA this season.
