The Braves and the Cubs are set to do baseball battle over the next four days, and the two teams have played through somewhat similar experiences over their most recent pair of games. Mainly, they both will be heading into tonight’s game on a two-game losing streak and they both scored a grand total of zero runs while combining for five hits on Sunday. Well, someone’s got to score and someone’s got to win tonight.
Interestingly enough, this is one of those weird scheduling quirks where a pair of teams gets their season series out of the way within the first month of the season.
