The Atlanta Braves are on a 13-game winning streak after defeating the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, the longest in the majors this season. And with another meeting against the Nationals on Wednesday and a three-game set against the Chicago Cubs to follow, they have a very good opportunity to extend it to 17 games.
Like the other four teams Atlanta has played through the streak, Washington and Chicago have losing records – bottom five in the entire MLB, in fact. That makes the Braves moneyline the rest of this week as close to a lock as any. The teams they previously beat were the bottom-five Athletics, and the barely better Pirates, Rockies and Diamondbacks.
