T.M. Selection: Atlanta Braves.

I like the Atlanta Braves to win this game against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The Braves have won 3 games in a row now and they have looked really good in these games lately. They have been putting up a lot of runs after their offense was really cold in the 1st month but they have been getting hot now and their pitching has also been there to back them up in these games too. The Rockies have been better in their home games this year but they haven't looked good lately and I think they are going to lose here again to a team that is really getting hot and back into World Series form like the defending champions that they are. Spencer Strider (1-2, 2.83 ERA) is up for the Braves here and he just pitched in his 1st start of the year in his most recent game, but he has made plenty of appearances out of the bullpen this year. He has looked really good in his appearances as a reliever, giving up no more than 2 runs just 1 time and pitching anywhere from 1-4 innings in his games played. His most recent appearance wasn't great but that was his 1st start and I think he is going to bounce back with a better performance here. This game is at Coors Field so there are going to be runs scored here but I expect his team to back him up with the way they have been hitting and scoring lately. Kyle Freeland (1-5, 4.96 ERA) is up for the Rockies here and he hasn't looked great this year with multiple starts where he has given up 5+ runs in the game. He has looked really bad in all 4 of his most recent starts too, and i think this is going to be another bad game for him in this big ballpark with a hot hitting team in town. I expect the Braves to continue on their run here and win this game. I like the Braves to win here.

T.M. Prediction: 7-3 Braves.
