Braves vs. Rockies Betting Odds
7:20 p.m. ET
Coming into today the biggest pitching mismatch goes in favor of the Atlanta Braves. The Colorado Rockies will send out José Urena. Coming into today he holds a 3.52 ERA paired with a 1.57 WHIP. His expected ERA is 5.54 which is in the bottom 5% of the league. His K percentage is at 11.6% which is in the bottom 1% of the league. His sinker is his favorite pitch, throwing over 53% of the time. His opponents have slashed for a .321 average against it. Making his sinker one of the worst sinkers in baseball.
The Braves will counter with their ace in Max Fried. Coming into today the first-round pick is 12-4 with a 2.52 ERA. Fried’s curveball is one of the best curveballs in baseball, throwing it over 20% of the time, hitters have only managed to slash for a .186 average against it.
A trend we look to continue today is that the Atlanta Braves are 10-1 in their last 11 games that were played on a Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Rockies have gone 4-10 in the last 14 games overall. Bet on these Braves hitters to jump on Urena’s awful sinker early. Take the Braves on the run line today.
