Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction 6/13/25 MLB Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Rockies vs Braves prediction for this MLB game on Friday, June 13, at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (13-55, 6-28 Away) snapped a five-game losing skid with an 8-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday, and avoided getting swept in the process. Colorado was swept by the Mets in the series before. The Rox came from 7-2 behind to win 8-7 after dropping leads in the opening two games for the losses. Thairo Estrada, Orlando Arcia, and Ryan Ritter led the offense with two RBI apiece, while Antonio Senzatela pitched for 4.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing seven runs on nine hits with two strikeouts and three walks. Seth Halvorsen was credited with the win. 

This year, the Rockies average 3.29 runs per game (29th in the MLB) on a .223/.286/.368 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 5.63 ERA (29th) and 1.58 WHIP (30th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .287 batting average, 11 home runs, and 39 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Rockies is German Marquez, who is 2-8 in 13 starts this season, with a 7.00 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 63.0 innings.

Atlanta Braves Betting Preview

The Atlanta Braves (29-38, 17-14 Home) finally won a series after losing six consecutive and were on a seven-game losing skid along the way. Atlanta beat the Brewers in two of three games, but the fact is, they are going through their worst period of the season. In a rubber match, a 6-2 victory on Wednesday, Rinald Acuna Jr. and Michael Harris II led the offense with two RBI apiece, while Spencer Schwellenbach got the win after allowing two runs on five hits with nine strikeouts and no walks in a complete game. 

This season, the Braves’ average 4.07 runs per game (21st in the MLB) on a .244/.317/.386 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Braves’ staff has a 3.73 ERA (11th) and 1.22 WHIP (13th). Matt Olson leads the Braves with a .238 batting average, 14 home runs, and 39 RBI this season.

Bryce Elder will take the mound for the Braves on Friday. The 26-year-old right-hander has a 2-3 record in ten starts this year with a 4.08 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 57.1 innings.

Rockies vs Braves Prediction

The Braves won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including two out of three this season. German Marquez started one of those games and surrendered seven runs in 5.1 innings in an 8-2 defeat. Bryce Elder started in a 6-3 victory, allowing three runs in 6.0 innings. The Braves are not in a good place at the moment, and I am sure the Rockies will have an opportunity to win at least one of three games in this series, but I am going with Over in this one. Two of three H2Hs this year produced more than eight runs, and I am going with 9+ here.
