Back for another weekend at the Betting News, off a 2-3 -.68 Units week. YTD sits at 28-22 for a profit of 8.78 Units. Today, we'll take a look at the Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves as they continue their 3 game set, at Truist Park, in Atlanta.
Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Picks and Preview
The Atlanta Braves currently hold a 5 game lead on the surging Philadelphia Phillies in the National League East. The Bravos took game 1 of this series by a 6-4 count, last night. Michael Harris led the way registering 3 runs batted in. It has been another disappointing season for the Colorado Rockies as they are currently tied with the Los Angeles Angels with the worst record in Major League Baseball. The Rockies do have some talented hitters but their pitching staff has been awful all season, will that trend continue tonight? Let's take a look…

Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Predictions and Best Bets
Game Pick: Atlanta Braves Team Total Over 5.5 +114 Lucky Rebel
The Atlanta offense is posed with a fantastic matchup today in Colorado start, Ryan Feltner. The right hander has a road ERA of 5.86 along with a WHIP of 1.72 and a batting average against of .301. Feltner is 0-4 lifetime against the Braves with an ERA of 11.25 and a WHIP of 2.13. Behind him is a bullpen that has an ERA of 4.81, which is 5th worst in the majors. The Braves are smoking right handed pitching at home. They average 5.6 runs/9 are are top 10 in batting average, OPS and wRC+. The Braves have scored at least 6 runs in 7 of the last 10 head to head meetings and I see so reason why they can't do the same here today.
Player Prop: Drake Baldwin Over 2.5 Hits + Runs +RBIs +113 Lucky Rebel
Atlanta catcher Drake Baldwin is having a very solid season this far. Baldwin is hitting .276 with 22 home runs, 67 runs batted in and 72 runs scored. He is hitting .294 vs right handed pitching with 15 home runs, 49 runs batted in and 47 runs scored. At home, Baldwin hits .297 with 13 home runs, 43 runs batted in and 45 runs scored. Drake has a Barrel rate of 13.1 on the season, which is in the 87th percentile. This matches up well with Feltner's Barrel rate of 10.9, which is in the 6th percentile.
Baldwin is also very hot at the dish in his current form. He's cleared this number in 4 straight games, totaling 15 hits, runs and runs batted in. He's also cleared this mark in 8 of his last 12 home games. Baldwin typically hits leadoff in this very powerful Atlanta lineup so he will get ample opportunity to clear this number again, today.
