Atlanta at Colorado

The Rockies have had no trouble with offense the last two nights, pounding out 8 and 9 runs, despite losing both. This Colorado offense is outstanding, second in baseball in runs scored and slugging, plus No. 9 in on-base percentage. Atlanta is a long way from home, playing its third game away as part of a nine-game trip out west. Starter Brandon Beachy has struggled in his career against Colorado with an ERA of 11.57. The Braves are 3-7 in Beachy's last 10 starts. Colorado goes with Juan Nicasio (2-0), who is throwing well with a 3.32 ERA his last three starts, a 2-0 record, while walking 3 in 19 innings with 14 Ks. The Rockies are 9-1 in Nicasio's last 10 home starts and an excellent bounce-back team at 6-2 in their last eight games following a loss. Play the Rockies.
