Atlanta Braves vs Chicago Cubs Predictions: JR Ritchie vs Shota Imanaga

Game time: September 16, 2026 at 7:40 PM ET

By SportsJaw Editorial Team

Game outlook

The current spread lists Atlanta Braves at +1.5 (-190) and Chicago Cubs at -1.5 (+160). These are market lines, not a SportsJaw recommendation.

The total is 7.5 (-120) for the over and 7.5 (+100) for the under. A total pick concerns the teams’ combined score, independently of which team wins.

Opening vs current

ATL: opening spread +1.5 (-190); current spread +1.5 (-190). CHC: opening spread -1.5 (+160); current spread -1.5 (+160).

Opening over: 7.5 (-120). Current over: 7.5 (-120). Line changes alone do not establish an injury, lineup change, or betting advantage.

Moneyline

Atlanta Braves: +121. Chicago Cubs: -144. Moneyline picks concern the outright winner rather than the winning margin.
