Rockies vs. Braves Prediction: Tuesday, September 3rd

This time of the season in MLB is all about targeting those playing for the playoffs and those not and that’s the matchup we have in front of us tonight as the Rockies visit the Braves. The poor teams can see the end of the road and production can slip, so I will be heavily backing the favorites down the stretch. 

The Rockies are 19-50 this season on the road and have been eliminated from the postseason already. In the betting world, they are also 32-37 on the season against the spread. Seeing as they’ll go against Chris Sale and the Braves, I am okay eating the chalk for my MLB predictions today and taking the Braves on the run line. 

Speaking of Chris Sale, what a season he has had just when we all thought his career was over. With a record of 15-3 and ERA of 2.58, he has been impressive, but the strikeout numbers are also over the top! He had 42 strikeouts in the month of August over 30.2 innings pitched, and tonight, the Rockies come in leading the MLB in K-rate on the road at 28.1%! Seems like a slam dunk to me to take Sale over 8.5 strikeouts, something he has done many times this season.

Last of my MLB best bets today on this game will be fading Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Freeland whose 7.34 ERA on the road is alarming but perfect for opposing batting props. He is also allowing a .300 average to right-handed batters this season. So, let’s lock in on Marcell Ozuna, who is hitting .317 with an .921 OPS against the southpaws this season, to go over 1.5 total bases in this contest.
