Bet the Braves vs. Rockies Series
While neither team is particularly good this season, the Rockies have beaten Atlanta in ten of their last twelve meetings. They were listed as a -170 favorite in Thursday night’s game.
With the total set at 12, the OVER is not especially appealing. Three of the last four games in this series played in Colorado have gone way over the current total.
THURSDAY PITCHING MATCHUP: Braves RH Mike Foltynewicz (3-3, 3.70 ERA) vs. Rockies RH Chad Bettis (7-6, 5.55)
Foltynewicz is 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA in four career appearances (two starts) against the Rockies.
Bettis received a no-decision when faced Foltynewicz last weekend after giving up three runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings. He is 3-2 with a 6.09 ERA in eight home starts this season.
Julio Teheran has allowed just 9 hits off of 68 at bats versus the current Rockies lineup for the lowest average hits allowed vs. the scheduled lineup this weekend.
