Both favored to win their divisions at the start of the season, the Atlanta Braves (27-17, 11-9 away) and Chicago Cubs (26-22, 14-9 home) both have some early work to do, sitting second in the NL East and Central, respectively.
The Braves and Cubs start a three-game series at Wrigley Field on Tuesday night (6:40 pm CT/7:40 pm ET) with 40-year-old veteran Charlie Morton facing 26-year-old Javier Assad on the mound. Assad has been lights-out this season (4-0, 1.49 ERA, 1.03 WHIP) but oddsmakers give visiting Atlanta a slight edge in the Braves vs Cubs odds for May 21.
