Atlanta vs Chicago Cubs Prediction 14 May 2024

All the necessary data about the MLB regular season matchup between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs is contained in our prediction, which is based solely on arguments and facts. Will the hosts avoid a loss in their fifth consecutive head-to-head confrontation? Sportbooks are convinced they will. However, we do not rule out a variety of scenarios.

Atlanta continues its pursuit of Philadelphia in the race for the intermediate leadership in the standings, which forces them to constantly keep themselves in good shape. The team's statistical indicators are hard to call perfect. However, it avoids prolonged slumps. At home, the guys have won four matches in a row, playing very disciplined, especially in defense (5 runs allowed). This time, legendary Chris Sale got the chance to prove himself as the starting pitcher, having won five out of six duels in the current season.

Chicago will also play with a top pitcher (Jameson Taillon), who has 3 victories with no losses to his name. The team also rightfully maintains its position among the elite, but by mid-May, it approached in less than ideal shape. The "Windy City" representatives alternate successful matches with failed ones, indicating not ideal playing conditions. Previously, many experts attributed Craig Counsell's squad's turbulence to significant personnel problems, but now practically all players have returned to action.

📊The previous meeting of these competitors on 13 May 2024 in the MLB ended with a score 2:0. Let's look at the statistics below to better understand how the future event will turn out. The general stats are: 52 wins for home team, 69 of wins for away team. Atlanta Braves has 21 wins at home. On the other hand Chicago Cubs shows 19 wins away. The average amount of points scored is a statistic that cannot be ignored. So, Atlanta Braves has 3.8 points scored in avarage with 3.8 at home compared to Chicago Cubs with 4.6 in avarage and 4 away.
