Atlanta Braves at Colorado Rockies Prediction

Even though Atlanta and Colorado combined for just 4 runs in yesterday’s contest, Vegas is expecting a high-scoring game on Saturday night. Currently, the over-under line is set at 12 runs. I expect the Braves offense to jump all over Kyle Freeland and his WHIP of 1.56. Look for this game to go over 12 runs.
