Free Betting Pick: Chicago Cubs -116
The Braves are playing decent on the road, but the Braves rely heavily on Freeman for most of the offensive production and that can really cost the team in the future here. Look for the Braves to do decent, though, and make the game a battle as the Cubs win the game, but only with a strong outing from Lester in the mound. Final Score, Chicago Cubs win 6-5.
