Martin Perez is looking to build on a stellar start last time out. He threw seven shutout innings in a 3-1 win against the Rays.

Braves vs. Cubs Best MLB Prop Bets

Braves Best MLB Prop Bet

Drake Baldwin OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-113)

Drake Baldwin is proving that his rookie season wasn’t a fluke. He’s up to 23 home runs from 19, and batting .279 after hitting .274 last year.

Baldwin is currently on a seven-game hitting streak and has a hit in 19 of his last 21 games, going 29 for 88 (.330) in that span. I trust him to keep that going and get at least one counting stat tonight, plus he’s 2 for 2 against Gausman in his career.

Braves vs. Cubs Prediction and Pick

The Braves have had trouble on the road all season long, going 37-36 as opposed to 51-27 at home. The Cubs have had similar splits, with an impressive 44-32 home record (40-35 on the road).

Gausman has been able to bounce back from poor starts recently, and the Cubs are 26-17 vs. LHP (58-50 vs. RHP). I’ll take Chicago as a home favorite tonight.

Pick: Cubs -143
