Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves Prediction and Picks, September 14, 2026

At Wrigley Field tonight, the Cubs take on the Braves in a matchup where the wind is favoring hitters. However, Ian Happ has been struggling lately, getting hits at only about half his usual rate. The Cubs have been solid against left-handed pitchers this year, but Happ's recent form puts him at risk of not contributing much at the plate. While the Cubs have been performing well overall, Happ's numbers suggest he might not get to even one hit tonight. The Braves' hitters are also facing a tough challenge against lefties, which might mean a quieter game for Happ. With the odds at +120, this bet has a real chance, but keep in mind Happ's recent slump is a concrete risk.

Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves: Matt Olson Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (+162)

The Cubs have been hitting well against left-handed pitchers, showing they can score runs. However, Matt Olson from the Braves has struggled lately against lefties, hitting for about the same average as the league. With Olson getting hits at just over his usual rate, he might find it tough at Wrigley Field today. The risk here is that he can hit the ball hard and at a good angle, which could lead to a hit regardless of the matchup. Still, with the Cubs' solid performance and Olson's recent struggles against lefties, betting he gets under half a hit seems like a smart choice.

Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta Braves: Alex Bregman Under 0.5 Batter - Hits (+163)

Tonight at Wrigley Field, Alex Bregman faces a tough challenge against the Chicago Cubs. The wind blowing out could help hitters, but Bregman's recent performance suggests he might not capitalize on that. The Cubs have come out ahead in many recent games, and they know how to handle hitters like Bregman. Though he's a talented player, the matchup doesn't favor him as much tonight. There's a real chance he might not get a hit, making this bet a smart choice. Just keep in mind that Bregman can turn things around any time, so it's not a sure thing.
