The Braves will put the wraps on their nine-game trip with a three-game series this weekend at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
So far on the trip, the Braves have taken two of three at Coors Field last weekend and won Wednesday to avoid a sweep in a three-game series at Washington. The Braves enter the weekend series with a 7-5 record, and the Cubs are 6-6.
A note about the weather, though. After a projected high of 66 degrees Friday, the forecast as of late Thursday afternoon calls for a high of 44 on Saturday (with thunderstorms and an 80 percent chance of rain) and a high of 38 on Sunday (with a 70 percent chance of rain). Earlier Thursday, snow was in the Sunday forecast.
