Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction

The Colorado Rockies are one of those teams that's counting down days until the offseason, and it makes them hard to back day to day. Bradley Blalock also lacks the sample size to trust in a spot like this. Charlie Morton is a veteran who is usually going to give you a decent outing, and the Braves simply need to take advantage of games against lesser teams if they're going to sneak into the wild card. There's really no excuse for the Braves in spots like this. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
