Last place Colorado plays its seventh consecutive road contest. They look road-weary on a 3-10 run after losing 10-2 yesterday. The offense is 20th in on-base percentage, while the pitching is 29th in ERA (5.32) and 22nd in the bullpen (4.40 ERA). 35-year-old Chase Anderson gets the start after being claimed off waivers from Tampa Bay last month. In his last two starts, he's allowed 6 runs and 11 hits in 9+ innings. The Rockies are 36-93 on the road versus righty starters and are on a 36-78 run away from home. First place Atlanta is seventh in ERA (3.76) with a Top 10 bullpen (3.61 ERA), while the offense is fourth in runs scored, second in on-base percentage, and No. 1 in slugging. The Braves are playing their fourth straight home contest and have won five in a row by a 42-18 count. Veteran Charlie Morton is still reliable (85 Ks in 75 innings) and the Braves are on a 13-3 run, including 24-7 versus NL teams that allow 4.5+ runs per game. Atlanta is also 28-12 at home against NL starting pitchers with an ERA of 3.20 or better, plus 33-9 in June games. Play Atlanta as my Game of the Year
