Can the Atlanta Braves stop the Chicago Cubs from scoring a bunch of runs?
Atlanta travels to Chicago to kick off a three-game series on Friday (2:20 p.m. ET) as the Cubs have been red-hot since the All-Star break. Chicago is 14-6 in 20 games since the season resumed and just won three out of four against the NL Central-leading Cincinnati Reds.
The Cubs have scored 145 runs in those 20 games — the most runs of any team in baseball since the break — and are now just 2.5 games back of the Reds in the Central and also 2.
