Atlanta Braves vs Colorado Rockies Picks

Coors Field

<p>Last night, the Atlanta Braves and Colorado Rockies combined for 19 runs and 31 hits as the visitors took the series opener at Coors Field. Will we get another slugfest tonight in Denver?</p>
<p>In the opener, the Braves tallied eight extra-base hits, 13 runs and 18 hits and got a two-homer, six-RBI game from catcher Travis d’Arnaud as they saw off the Rockies by seven runs.</p>
<p>In the second game of the four-game series between these two teams, each side will be hoping for fewer runs. Braves ace Max Fried is in the NL Cy Young Award picture almost a third of the way through the season, while Chad Kuhl is on track to make his first season with the Rockies the best season of his MLB career.</p>

<h2 id="80jij">Will Seven be a Lucky Number for Atlanta?</h2>
<p>Through almost a third of the MLB season, the Braves are still trying to find their feet and find an extended winning run.</p>
<p>On one hand, they have not lost more than two games in a row. </p>
<p>On the other hand, they have not won more than two games in a row.</p>
<p>The reigning World Series champions head into this evening’s game with back-to-back wins over the Diamondbacks and Rockies, which followed back-to-back losses to the Diamondbacks, which followed a three-game series against the Miami Marlins in which a loss was sandwiched around two wins.</p>
<p>Last season, the Braves won three or more games in a row 12 times in the regular season. Thus far this season, they have won back-to-back games six times but have failed to make it three every time.</p>
<p>With their ace on the hill, this will be as good a chance as any to finally break that run. Fried, who comes in with the eighth-best NL Cy Young odds at BetOnline (+1600), lost his first two starts of the season but is 5-0 with a 2.52 ERA in eight starts since.</p>
<p>Coors Field and Denver present a bit of a different challenge than other road trips do, but Fried has put up great numbers in his first three road starts this season, going 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA. All three starts have been quality starts, and opponents are hitting only .188 against him on the road compared to .262 at Truist Park in Atlanta.</p>
<h2 id="cfijg">Braves vs. Rockies Prediction and Best Bets</h2>
<p><strong>Braves vs. Rockies Prediction:</strong> Braves to win</p>
<p><strong>Braves vs. Rockies Best Bets:</strong> Braves -1.5 (-111) &amp; UNDER 11.5 (-120) &#8211; both at <a href="https://affiliates.bettingnews.com/register/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BetOnline</a></p>
<p>Kubl is positioning himself for his first winning season since 2016, when he went 5-4 as a rookie with the Pittsburgh Pirates. </p>
<p>But after going 3-0 with a 1.90 ERA in four April starts, his numbers went a bit south in May, as he was only 1-2 with a 5.18 ERA and failed to make it through at least five full innings in three of his five starts last month. It certainly doesn’t help that he got seven runs of support in one start and six total in the other four.</p>
<p>Speaking of run support, the Rockies have allowed three or more runs in 23 of their 29 home games this season. When Fried has gotten three or more runs of support, he is 5-1 in nine starts this season and 43-7 in 72 career starts. </p>
<p>With no ML value for this matchup, at least when it comes to single bets, the best value play on the Braves is the -1.5 run line. Of their 25 wins this season, 19 have been by 2+ runs, so the percentages heavily favor that outcome. </p>
<p>Additionally, the under is worth a look this evening as well. Things can get out of hand in an instant at Coors Field, but with the total at 11, there’s a little more room to navigate than there typically is with MLB totals.</p>
<p>Of Fried’s ten starts, eight have had eleven or fewer combined runs, while eight of Kuhl’s nine starts, including two of his three home starts, have featured eleven or fewer combined runs. </p>
