(MLB) Colorado vs. Atlanta, 08/25/2017 3:35 PM, Score: 2 - 5
Money Line: -115.00 Atlanta (Home)
Result: Win
Colorado at Atlanta 7:35 ET
Braves over Rockies- There are some ugly 'numbers' surrounding this game as both have been disappointing in their play of late. Let's start with Atlanta who are 11-24 since the All-Star break and Colorado who played so well on the road to start the year have dropped 23 of their last 30 away games. The Rockies have seen their once huge lead in the NL Wild Card hunt trimmed to 3.5 games while the Braves have been out of contention since 2010. Atlanta's Julio Teheran (7-11, 5.02 ERA) has struggled at home going 1-9 with a 6.98 ERA with opponents hitting .290 against him. Chad Bettis (0-0, 1.93) has returned from cancer but finds himself in a bad spot here. Take ATLANTA!
