We have four plus-money bets to consider for tonight's game between the Cubs and Braves.
The Atlanta Braves host the Chicago Cubs tonight in what could be a pitching duel at Truist Park.Reynaldo Lopez over 2.5 walks allowed
Lopez has been excellent for the Braves this season, pitching to a sparkling 1.53 ERA for Atlanta this year, including a mere 0.98 ERA when at home. However, in his last outing, Lopez did allow four free passes to the Boston Red Sox. Though Lopez has only exceeded this number in two of six games pitched this season, I like the plus money for Lopez to walk three Cubs tonight. Chicago has taken 157 walks this season for an average of nearly four per game, which ranks fourth in MLB.
Other fun bets: Shota Imanaga to record a win and over 5.5 strikeouts . Imanaga has fanned 6+ batters in four of seven games this season, and though the Braves are not easy to strike out, they have never seen Imanaga before, and that advantage always goes to the pitcher. One more thing: Chicago’s bats have been hotter in May than Atlanta’s. The Braves have averaged only 3.44 runs per game this month, which ranks 25th in MLB. The Cubs’ 4.18 ranks 14th.
So, there you have it. All the reasons why you should - and shouldn’t- bet in plus-money with me tonight. Why not have some fun and tail at least one? No risk it, no biscuit.Shota Imanaga over 5.5 K If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
