Atlanta Braves at Colorado Rockies 4/8/19 - MLB Betting Picks & Odds
Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies
MLB: 8:40 PM EST
Apr. 08, 2019
TV: NA
Latest Odds : COL -135 Total 10.5
Heading into play on Sunday the Braves are sitting at five hundred on the season. However, one thing the Braves have been able to do is play some decent ball lately and outside of the loss on Saturday the Braves had been able to put together a string of 4 straight wins and that could really give the younger team a boost of confidence. The downside is the Braves are still 2 games back from the Mets in the standings.
Dansby Swanson has stepped up to be the leader for the Braves on the year for the offense. He has already driven in 7 runs and hit 2 homers, but also hits at a decent .318 clip. Julio Teheran is the pitcher taking the mound for the Braves in this game. He has posted a total of 10 innings this year in 2 starts, but has no wins and a loss on the season, but has a 3.60 ERA with 14 strikeouts.

The Rockies season has started off like the name, rocky. The team has only managed to win 3 games on the season, but also has recorded a total of 6 losses on the season as well. What else is going to be a problem for the Rockies is the fact the team has not really looked impressive with the pitching on the year and that can prove to be a disaster for the team who needs to lock down some semblance of a decent pitching staff.
David Dahl has been the leader for the Rockies offense with 6 runs driven in, but has hit 2 homers and hits at a clip of .353. Kyle Freeland is the pitcher who will be taking to the mound in this game for the Rockies. Freeland has thrown 11.2 innings in his 2 starts this year with 1-1 record, but has recorded 15 strikeouts and a 2.31ERA.

Free Betting Pick: Colorado Rockies -135
The Rockies have a decent offense and with Freeland taking to the mound in this game it will be hard to stop the Rockies. Look for the Rockies offense to show up big, but the defense will show up to provide Freeland with the support he needs as he outduels Teheran, who has shown this season that he cannot go deep into the games. Final Score, Colorado Rockies win 7-4.
