Colorado Rockies vs Atlanta Braves Prediction: Braves will not disappoint

On Thursday, game 3 of a Major League Baseball series between the Colorado Rockies and the Atlanta Braves will take place at Coors Field.

After dropping eight of their previous nine games, the Colorado Rockies are in desperate need of a victory. With a record of 49-83, the Colorado Rockies have the lowest record in all of the National League. The pitching staff for the Colorado Rockies is currently ranked 27th in terms of quality starts (34), 29th in terms of ERA (5.54), and 29th in terms of WHIP (1.52). The offense of the Colorado Rockies is currently ranked 19th in terms of runs per game (4.36), 17th in terms of batting average (.249), and 25th in terms of home runs (132). The Colorado Rockies are led by Ezequiel Tovar, who has 119 hits and 61 runs batted in, while Ryan McMahon and Elias Diaz have a combined 228 hits and 129 runs batted in. The next pitcher is Kyle Freeland, who has a record of 5-13 with a 5.00 earned run average and 86 strikeouts so far this season. In his career, Freeland's record against the Atlanta Braves is 1-3 with a 5.80 earned run average and 31 strikeouts.

After winning six of their previous seven games, the Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their winning streak. The National League East is currently led by the Atlanta Braves, who hold a lead of 12.5 games. The pitching staff for the Atlanta Braves is ranked third in earned run average (3.80), 12th in walks allowed per nine innings (1.26), and 11th in quality starts (50). The offensive production of the Atlanta Braves is first in the major leagues in three categories: runs per game (5.82), batting average (.276), and home runs (247). Austin Riley and Matt Olson have combined for 278 hits and 193 RBI for the Braves, while Ronald Acuna Jr. leads the Braves with 177 hits and 79 RBI on his own. When Darius Vine takes the mound tonight, it will be the first time he has pitched in the majors. Vines finished his time in the minor leagues with a record of 16-15, a 3.63 earned run average, and 366 strikeouts.

I don't like betting on pitchers who are making their first appearance in the major leagues because you never know what to anticipate, but Darius Vine has the support of the top offense in baseball if things don't work out for him. In addition, the Colorado Rockies are piling on the losses, and Kyle Freeland has an earned run average of 5.00 and a walk-to-hit ratio of 1.47. These two teams are located in different area codes; therefore, it won't matter who pitches for either of them. For the greatest possible return on my wager, I can only back the Atlanta Braves with the run line.
