Free MLB Pick
Both pitchers have strong historical batter vs. pitcher stats. Rockies starter De La Rosa have strung together four Q starts and has pitched very well on the road with an ERRA of 3.17 in 10 starts. He’ll face a Braves club that has scored three or fewer runs in eight of their last 10. Teheran has also put together four Q starts and has been exceptional at home with a 6-1 record and 2.44 ERA and should be able to quiet the Rockies bats.
