00:00It does not appear the Braves are going to lose tonight at home against the Rockies.
00:08Atlanta is a minus 350 favorite on the FanDuel Sportsbook because Chris Sale gets the nod
00:14tonight.
00:15The over-under stands at seven and a half.
00:17Donnie, is there any way that you would want to play this game between the Rocks and the
00:20Braves knowing it is such a strong price in Atlanta's favor?
00:24It's kind of crazy.
00:25Probably more towards the under.
00:26Sale we know has been phenomenal.
00:27His last 60 days has been a 2.25 ERA and XFIP number 2.61, but you take a look at Freeland.
00:32He's the 10th overall pitcher on the card today, 5th, 56th, and two-thirds innings pitch,
00:36which does include some starts here in Colorado.
00:39And how about this?
00:40An ERA of 4.29, which is a little bit elevated, but his true number, that XFIP, 3.76.
00:46Here's the issue that you're going to have.
00:47Freeland's a left-handed pitcher.
00:49The bats have woken up for the Atlanta Braves, particularly against lefties over the past
00:52month.
00:53You've got Soler, Olsen, Laureano, Arcia, and Murphy, all high ISO power numbers.
00:59Good luck if you're Colorado.
01:00Colorado's one of those teams on offense, like if they're at home, you're sort of like,
01:03you know what?
01:04I'll take a flyer on them.
01:05But on the road, you just take a look at the last 30 days against left-handed pitching
01:07and sale has been tremendous.
01:09Doyle's got a 176 ISO, which is about average.
01:12Stallings has a 231, but only threw 16 of the bats.
01:15Everybody else in that lineup below average with their ISO power numbers.
01:18Good luck, Colorado, playing out the string against an Atlanta Braves team that absolutely
01:22needs it and is smarting after losing three out of four to the Philadelphia Phillies.
