The Atlanta Braves come off a much needed break back to Turner Field to play the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs will be sending Kyle Hendricks to the mound while the Braves will be sending Julio Teheran, which bodes well because while he has struggled on the road this year, he is 5-0 with an ERA close to 2 at home.
The Braves will continue to be without the services of first baseman Freddie Freeman and he isn't expected back before the end of July. This is particularly unfortunate given how good Hendricks has been of late
#Cubs Kyle Hendricks hasn't allowed a run in 22 1-3 innings, while the #Braves are averaging 2.70 runs since June 21 - second fewest in MLB.

The Braves hope to get back on the winning track as they were swept by the Rockies right before the break.
