Free MLB Pick

The Rockies are a poor 2-9 in their last 11 games and send starter Kyle Kendrick to the mound who has been awful in his starts at Coors Field this season with a 1-4 record and 6.70 ERA. The Braves’ hitters as previously noted have had a lot of success against the Colorado starter. Atlanta has won six of their last eight games and have a 7-3 edge in their last 10 games versus the Rockies. The Braves starter Alex Wood had a rough outing against Philadelphia at home but had two sharp road starts in his previous two games. Colorado doesn’t hit lefties particularly well and Woods has good historical stats versus the roster although they have had just a combined 15 at bats.
