Rockies vs Braves Prediction
The Rockies have lost eight straight games and have won one game since April 11. There’s no getting behind the Rockies in any shape or form until further notice. Dollander doesn’t make things any better, as the rookie has allowed 26 hits and 17 earned runs in 19.1 innings. Sale has been rough to start the season, but we know what he’s capable of, so we can give him some bail. Also, Sale has been sharper lately, allowing 11 hits and three runs in his last 9.1 innings. Again, this has more to do with the Rockies than anything else. You can’t back the Rockies. Give me the Braves and the RL for max betting value.
