Winner yesterday Under Pirates
1*Atlanta Braves @ Colorado Rockies - BRAVES TO WIN (+103)
Tommy Hanson is on the mound for the Braves, and he has been solid all season long. He is coming off maybe his roughest outing of the season, but I see him bouncing back to form in today's start. Hanson is 10-5 on the season with a 2.73 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. Batters are hitting just .198 against Hanson, who has struck out 117 on the season. Hanson went 7 innings giving up just 4 hits and 1 earned run for the victory against the Rockies earlier this month. Jhoulys Chacin is on the mound for the Rockies and has pretty similar numbers as Hanson, with an 8-7 record, 3.37 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Batters are hitting .206 against Chacin. Jhoulys is also coming off a rough start, where he lasted 6.1 innings giving up 7 hits and 5 earned runs. The Braves roughed up Chacin back on the 5th of this month, as he pitched just 5 innings in Atlanta giving up 4 earned runs on 4 hits while walking 6 batters. The Braves are playing well lately winning 13 of their last 19 games and are 8-4 in their last 12 as underdogs. Note that the Braves are 7-0 in Hanson's last 7 road starts, and 6-1 in his last 7 starts overall. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 in his last 7 starts on 4 days rest and 6-0 in his last 6 starts vs NL West division opponents. The Rockies are 1-7 in their last 8 games vs a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and 0-4 in their last 4 when playing the last of a four game series. Note the Rockies are winless in Chacin's last 4 starts (in which he is 0-3), and they are just 2-5 in his last 7 starts vs NL East teams. Atlanta has taken 5 of the 7 meetings between these two teams on the season, and have 10 more wins than the Rockies overall. I like getting Atlanta as underdogs with Hanson on the mound, who should feel confident against these Rockies hitters. Take the Braves as underdogs this afternoon.Comment
