Rockies (51-89) vs. Braves (76-63)
The Rockies have had a difficult season, as can be seen from their most recent outings. In these last five games, they have managed to win only against the Baltimore Orioles and lost twice to the same team and the Atlanta Braves as well. They further lost twice when last played against the Washington Nationals. All these losses are symptomatic of the team’s struggles via the scores and wins achieved thus far: consistency in almost every aspect.

On the other hand, the performance of the Braves seems to be on an upward surge, especially when they faced the Rockies most recently, and they managed to defeat them very comfortably on two occasions. Their last five games are a bit distinguishable, with a loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. However, how quickly they come back to win their next games is impressive, an essential quality of any team that intends to be a contender.

Austin Gomber (4-10, 4.69 ERA) vs. Reynaldo Lopez (8-4, 2 ERA)
Austin Gomber’s season has done nothing but disappoint the Rockies fans with a record of 4-10 and an ERA of 4.69. His 144 innings on the mounds saw him giving hits that totalled to 151 with home runs that reached 27, making him badly statistically. That may be especially important given how he may match up against a Braves lineup that knows how to take advantage of any pitching flaws the Rockies may have.
As for the Braves, Reynaldo Lopez has also been more than reliable, having a win-loss record of 8-4 with an approximate earned run average of 2. It can be noted that in the course of 121.2 innings pitched, Lopez proved very effective, striking out 125 batters while only walking 42 and sported a good WHIP of 1.17. Unlike Gomber, who has given up 27 home runs, he has surrendered only a meager 8 home runs displaying his capacity to keep the ball from the field, giving a relative background towards a 45-enthralling game against the Rockies.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Braves -1.5 (-125), Total Odds: 8.5
The betting trends indicate that the Braves should be able to cover the spread and win once again especially in their backyard. Based on the trends and results that have been created, it would make sense for the bettors in this match to support Atlanta in improving their results against Colorado.
Rockies Betting Trends
There is no confidence in the Rockies’ betting trends as the total went UNDER in 4 of their last 5 games and 1-5 SU in their last six games. Their performance history against the Braves, though, leaves something to be desired as the Rockies have been unable to win any of their last 8 games at Truist Park, going 0-8 SU. Such trends show signs of inefficiency especially when it comes to hard-away matchups.
Braves Betting Trends
The Braves show much stronger trends, with a stunning 12-5 bet on their last 17 games. Instead of going out to a bar, they decided to stay in a perfect 8-0 SU in the last 8 games played at home against the Rockies. The total points line was also achieved when the games were held under 8 of their last home games, which implies that the defense and pitching are pretty solid, hence making them take on upcoming matchups.
Rockies vs. Braves 9/5/24 Betting Picks
Taking all of the previously mentioned rationales and the analysis of both sides in statistical forms and the current status of both teams into account, it looks like the Braves will be able to beat the Rockies yet again in this series. Adding Lopez’s effective pitching and playing in front of their home fans must tilt the outcome of the contest towards Atlanta. As for the Rockies, they have a tough task ahead of them, to throw a 2-1 score and steal the game.
Otherwise, as far as placing a bet is concerned, the better option to support would be backing the Braves with a handicap spread, taking into account their home advantage and the poor performance of the Rockies on the road. As for total points, prop bets on under-total points might also be considered as it seems betting on the trends of the game where low scoring will be expected, especially from the side of the Rockies. For those who want premium expert advice, interaction with this game provides a fantastic chance to support the home team, which is significantly better and more stable than the opponent.
