In this Rockies vs Braves Prediction, the Braves are coming as -220 home favorites. I like the Braves to complete the series sweep, even though they struggled yesterday, I expect them to bounce back with a dominating effort with Tyler Mahle on the mound. Mahle has been excellent as a Brave with a 1.52 ERA, while on the other hand, Mason Adams will play just the second MLB game of his career. The Braves have been red-hot with six straight wins and also have the 4 th -best bullpen in baseball. Take the Braves to win this one comfortably and cover the runline.
