Since his return from the DL, Braves pitches Jair Jurrjens just has not been himself. In his return start he gave up 5 runs on 8 hits over six innings of work against the San Francisco Giants a team that struggles at the plate. Not great for an all-star.
The Cubs are on the other hand heating uo right now, and are coming into this contest having won 7 of 10.
They are also sending Ryan Dempster to the mound tonight, who has pitched magnificently over his last 3 starts, he has only given up 5 earned runs over 20 innings of work. He also K’d 18 batters almost 1 per inning.
To put the icing on the cake, Brian McCann is 0-10 V.S Dempster in his career.
Pick: Take the Chicago Cubs
