The Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies meet Sunday in MLB action at Coors Field. Here’s a Rockies vs. Braves Prediction. This article will include a Rockies vs. Braves Pick.
The Atlanta Braves are 24-10 on the year and play the Dodgers and Mariners next. The Atlanta Braves are batting .273 on the season and have a .338 OBP, and a .458 slugging percentage. The Atlanta Braves pitching staff has a 3.11 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. Ozzie Albies leads the Atlanta Braves with 43 hits and 21 RBI, while Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson have combined for 82 hits and 59 RBI.
Spencer Strider gets the ball for the Atlanta Braves, and he was 7-14 with a 4.45 ERA and 131 strikeouts last season. Strider is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA and 34 strikeouts in his career against the Colorado Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies are 14-20 on the year and play the Mets and Phillies next. The Colorado Rockies are batting .251 on the season and have a .329 OBP, and a .395 slugging percentage. The Colorado Rockies pitching staff has a 4.42 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Troy Johnston leads the Colorado Rockies with 32 hits and 16 RBI while TJ Rumfield and Mickey Moniak have combined for 61 hits and 35 RBI.
Kyle Freeland gets the ball for the Colorado Rockies, and he is 1-2 with a 3.48 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. Freeland is 1-5 with a 5.93 ERA and 40 strikeouts in his career against the Atlanta Braves.
Strider is making his season debut and usually I’ll fade a guy given the long layoff, but not here. The Braves continue to pile up wins, crush Coors, and Freeland hasn’t had success against the Braves. In 137 at bats against current Braves, Freeland is allowing a .328 batting average, .367 on-base percentage and .599 slugging. We’ve backed the Braves a lot during this winning stretch and there’s no reason to believe this lineup won’t continue to put up crooked numbers. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
