- Date & Time: Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 7:15 p.m. ET

Key Storylines
- The Cubs responded to dropping the opening game of this series by winning 6-1 on the road on Tuesday. Getting a win in the rubber match would move the Cubs a step closer to clinching at least a Wild Card spot in the National League.
- Atlanta has Chris Sale on the mound for this game. While Sale is not going to win a second straight NL Cy Young award this year, having him on the mound is a good thing for the Braves now that he is healthy again.
Pitching matchup
- Chris Sale comes into this start at 5-4 with a 2.38 ERA. The lefty has paired elite strikeout rates with strong command. Chicago’s lineup is deeper in right-handed bats, but Sale’s slider-change combo has neutralized both sides this season. Sale has pitched well despite injuries cutting into his season.
- The Cubs will go with Jameson Taillon to start this contest. Taillon is 9-6 with a 4.15 ERA this year. He has pitched well in his last two starts with two earned runs allowed across 11 innings. If he can keep that going, the Cubs could win a second straight on the road.
Recent team streaks
- Chicago ended a three-game losing streak with their 6-1 win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
- Atlanta has lost three of their last four games.

Cubs vs Braves Model Projection
Score Projection: Cubs 2 – Braves 4
Win Probability: Cubs 44%, Braves 56%
Final Thoughts
Chicago has been the better team throughout this season. But the Braves are in a much better spot in this game thanks to the presence of Chris Sale. I’ll take the Braves to win as a favorite here, though their play this season could lead me to regret that decision by the end of this contest.
