I don’t know why I feel this way – the Braves are really good this season (and especially this month) – but I think this series is going to be a good one for the Cubs. They’re set to get Craig Kimbrel *possibly* by the end of the week, they got some good news on the injury front, and they’re at home. I’m just digging the vibes. Plus, they really need some credible wins, so why not start with the first-place Braves?
Stick around after the post-game for another episode of Outside the Ivy on NBC Sports Chicago with Luis and I for more Cubs talk. Go Cubs.
