Colorado at Atlanta

I was on the wrong side of Atlanta's push three days ago, backing the Dodgers' moneyline into a 4-3 loss that kicked off a sweep, with the Braves following it up with one-run wins in each of the next two games to finish off Los Angeles. That's a four-game winning streak now for a team that was already 79-55 and comfortably ahead of a fading Colorado club that has lost seven straight games, two of them by ten runs or more. Grant Holmes takes the ball for Atlanta off a solid season, an 8-5 record with a 3.64 ERA, against a Rockies team that has forgotten how to compete on the road. Tomoyuki Sugano's own numbers, a 4.96 ERA despite a 12-7 record, tell the story of a pitcher who has been bailed out by run support that Colorado's offense has stopped providing during this collapse. I'm flipping sides after getting burned by this exact team, and the price still has value against a Rockies club playing out the string on the road. I'm on Atlanta's moneyline tonight.

1.5 units on Atlanta -219 (moneyline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.18)
