Rockies vs Braves Prediction 

Atlanta comes into this series looking for the sweep, and they have outscored Colorado by a total of 16-5 in the first two games. The Braves are 19-14 at home this year, while the Rockies are 6-30 on the road. Colorado is starting Gomber, who is coming off the IL, but I have very little faith in this Colorado pitching staff. Atlanta is starting Sale, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in five straight starts. Sale should have no issue having another great outing, while the Atlanta bats will continue to do damage. Take the Braves -2.5 here. 

David Racey's Pick: Braves -2.5
