Braves vs Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Braves here. I just think that the Braves are the better team here by a mile, despite their struggles. While Grant Holmes isn’t really worthy of laying this kind of price, the Rockies have shown no signs of breaking out of this offensive slump they’ve had for much of the season. Until Colorado shows signs of breaking through, give me the other side. I’ll take the Braves.
