Atlanta Braves (76-63) vs Colorado Rockies (51-89)
Thursday, September 05, 2024 at 7:20 pm
The Braves are overvalued here as Lopez has pitched well but still owns a steep 4.15 xERA. The Rockies' offense got shut out on Tuesday, was more competitive on Wednesday but struggled with runners on, and now on Thursday I think we see Colorado's best offensive performance in this series. Gomber is in good form and while the Braves are hitting lefties well they have a steep K % and high BABIP vs. LHP in the last month. The Braves used both Jimenez and Iglesias on Tuesday/Wednesday, so their top two relievers should be unavailable for this contest. We are getting + money with the +1.5 runs on the RL, so give me that with the Rockies here.
Ron’s Pick Colorado Rockies: +1.5 +110
