AMEDEUS' MLB GOLD STRIKE!
(MLB) Atlanta vs. Chi Cubs,
Total: 8.50 | 101.00 Over
Result: Win
The Braves are coming into this game playing in some very high scoring games recently as their offense has been heating up but their pitching has not been great. They have had 8 runs or more in each of their last 3 games and their offense has scored at least 6 runs in each of those while also allowing at least 5 runs in 2 of those. They are going up against a Cubs team that has also been in a lot of high scoring games recently since their offense has been very hot as well. They have had 8 or more runs total in their last 6 straight games and they have scored at least 5 runs in 5 of those games. Justin Steele is starting for the Cubs here and he is 12-3 with a 2.65 ERA this season. He has been very good and consistent all season but recently he has started to unravel in his starts as he allowed 4 earned runs in his last start and has allowed at least 3 runs in 3 of his last 5 starts. Now he is going to be up against the best offense in the league as well and he is going to allow some runs with the way he has been unraveling now. Charlie Morton is starting for the Braves here and he is 10-9 with a 3.62 ERA this season. He has also been starting to unravel in his recent starts as he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts. He has also allowed 3 earned runs or more in a majority of his road starts this season and he is going to get hit by this Cubs offense that has been scoring a lot of runs recently. Both of these teams also have questionable bullpens that will allow some runs late in this game as well. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
