00:00Atlanta has to pull it together they go with our guy Grant Holmes today on the

00:08road at cores against the Rockies minus 162 the number in favor of Atlanta

00:13against the worst team in the National League that is Colorado ten and a half

00:17now the total the Braves weren't terrible offensively against Milwaukee

00:23just a little bit lifeless they did score 12 total runs in their last two

00:27games against the brew crew it's just that Milwaukee scored 24 combined runs

00:32in each of those two victories for Milwaukee can Atlanta pick it up at

00:38altitude today against the Rocks I don't want to lay that heavy price I would just

00:43say minus 150 or higher on the Braves on the road I don't think it makes all that

00:46much sense but going against Colorado they are the better team today let's

00:49take a look at Tanner Gordon is going to be on the mound for the Rockies on the

00:52season he's actually only faced 91 batters but having said that Ben the

00:56splits 294 ISO against in a 394 weighted on base percentage he has done

01:01very well however against left-handed batters which is interesting as a

01:04right-handed pitcher where they're getting the best of him it's from the

01:07right side less 36 batters he's face been a 471 ISO power number and a 537

01:13weighted on base percentage and you might say like oh that might be just in

01:16last month but if you add on another 12 batters over his season that number is

01:20still a 413 ISO and a weighted on base percentage of 539 so when you flip to

01:24it maybe don't want to go after the lefties but there's a couple righties

01:27that are doing very well against right-handed pitching over the past

01:30month for the Braves that's Austin Riley 241 ISO power number and Marcelo Zuna at

01:35a 341 ISO power number if you want to throw in Orlando Arcia still has 70

01:39at bats it with a 258 ISO and a 415 weighted on base percentage I do think

01:44the Braves get it together and you're right about that it's not as if like we

01:47worry about the Atlanta offense hey shut out and game number one they actually

01:50were scoring a decent amount of runs but the pitching really let them down so if

01:54the pitching lets them down in Colorado maybe don't want to lay that price but

01:57having said that there's still some RBI opportunities even if they are juiced

02:01since being in Colorado Riley Ozuna and Arcia make a lot of sense today if

02:05you're looking for an RBI option
