Rockies vs Braves Prediction
The Braves are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings against the Rockies and are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in Atlanta.
In this Rockies vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -210 home favorites. I like the Braves to keep rolling in this one, as they have been red-hot with five consecutive wins and will face a Rockies team that is just 2-8 in its last 10. Martin Perez has been the superior pitching option in this matchup, as he has been elite at home with a 2.02 ERA, while Feltner has given up 12 runs in his last two starts for the Rockies. The Braves also have the 4th-best bullpen in baseball and I expect them to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
