Atlanta enters this series on a four-game win streak and limited the Arizona Diamondbacks to three runs in recording a three-game sweep over the weekend. “I like our club,” said Braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson. “I think at the end of the day, this is probably one of my favorite clubs I’ve ever played on.” The team finished its latest homestand with a 7-3 record and are a season-high 24 games over .500. Second baseman Dan Uggla continues to be an offensive force in the lineup and is just a home run away from extending his own MLB record for 30-homer seasons at the position. Atlanta is 35-25 on the road this season.

Braves starting pitcher Jair Jurrjens is 12-5 with a 2.84 ERA in 21 starts this season and will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak. The right-hander has allowed 10 runs and 15 hits over 11 innings over that span. Jurrjens has not performed well at all since appearing in the All-Star Game, posting an 0-2 mark and 6.52 ERA in five starts, as opponents are hitting .295 against him. He will be making his 11th road start of the year, bringing in a 5-3 record and 2.86 ERA. In three lifetime outings versus the Cubs, the Curacao native is 0-1 with a 3.50 ERA, including an 0-1 mark and 4.85 ERA in three appearances at Wrigley Field.
