The Rockies started their road trip off well with two wins but have faltered in their last two. The pitching staff has allowed 20 runs in their last three games and it’s difficult to forecast that changing by much today when they send out Dinelson Lamet who brings a 2.31 WHIP into this match. The Braves send out Jared Shuster and while he has been serviceable in seven starts this season he certainly can’t be expected to overpower an opponent. Take the Over 10.
