Strong Game for the Braves
It was a strong game for the Braves on Monday, and they were able to pick up the 6-3 victory. At the end of the first inning, they were down 3-0, but they continued to fight back, and their offense ended up scoring the runs. Michael Harris II had a strong game, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. Bryce Elder got the start, and outside of that awful first inning, they actually ended up pitching pretty well.
The Braves are averaging 4.15 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.41 runs per game. The offense is ranked 18th in the league while the pitching is ranked 17th. Austin Riley has hit six home runs and driven in 18 RBis.
Why the Braves Will Beat the Rockies
- The Rockies have lost 14 of their last 15 night games against National League opponents.
- The Braves have won nine of their last 10 night games against the Rockies following a win.
- The Braves have covered the run line in nine of their last 10 night games against the Rockies following a win.
- The Rockies have failed to cover the run line in 18 of their last 22 home games against NL East opponents that held a losing record.
- The Rockies have trailed after 5 innings in five of their last six games against NL East opponents.
Rockies Continue to be Awful
The Rockies continue to be awful, and they currently have only four wins all season. Even on Monday, after a strong first inning, the offense then suddenly went ice cold again, and that led to the defeat. Ryan Feltner went 4.2 innings and gave up 10 hits and five earned runs. If they want a chance in this game, the pitching is going to need to find a way to be a whole lot better because the offense hasn’t been doing its job.
The Rockies are averaging 3.29 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.84 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th, while the pitching is ranked 30th. This team has had some major struggles, but it’s bad how bad the offense has been, especially considering they play their home games at Coors Field. Getting the start for the Rockies will be German Marquez, who sits with a 0-4 record and an ERA of 9.30. Against the Kansas City Royals, he went four innings, giving up eight hits and six runs. They are going to need him to be a whole lot better.
Total Run Facts
- Ten of the Rockies' last 11 night games against NL East opponents have gone UNDER the total runs line.
- Four of the Braves' last five road games against NL West opponents have gone OVER the total runs line.
- The 'Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs' market has hit in six of the Rockies' last seven night games against National League opponents.
- The 'Inning 1 OVER 0.5 runs' market has hit in 13 of the Braves' last 16 road games against National League opponents.
Atlanta Braves vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
The Braves are going to put on a show here. Yes, the Braves' offense hasn’t been elite this season, but they are still the much better offense considering the pitching in this game. German Marquez is on the mound for the Rockies, and in his last start, he gave up eight hits and six runs. At Coors Field, it’s going to be a problem again here, and the Braves are going to score at least five or six runs off of him. Once the bullpen comes in, the success is going to continue for the Braves' offense. Colorado’s offense is going ot have no answer, and Atlanta is going to cruise. Back the Braves.
