The Atlanta Braves eye a 3-0 sweep on Thursday, wrapping up their three-game series against the Colorado Rockies at Truist Park. The Braves kept the No.2 spot in the NL East after winning Game No.2 against the Rockies 5-2. Jarred Kelenic set the game's tempo by hitting a three-run blast to give the Braves an early 4-0 lead. Charlie Morton allowed two runs and struck out eight in 5.0 innings while closer Raisel Iglesias secured the final outs to earn his 30th save of the season. The Braves (76-63) are clinging to a 0.5-game lead over the New York Mets (76-64) as their season-long battle for one of the four Wild Card spots in the NL is now reaching its climax. The Rockies absorbed their fifth loss in six games on Thursday after another subpar showing from their pitching staff. Sporting a 4.60 ERA in their last 10 games and 5.52 in the season, Colorado would have to make several moves via trade or free agency to shore up the caliber of their pitching corps next season.

Our Atlanta Braves vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

The Rockies have gone 8-2 in their last 10 meetings with the Braves, and their chances of preventing a sweep significantly decreased once we learned that Reynaldo Lopez will be starting on Thursday. Lopez has been on a tear recently, surrendering one earned run in each of his last three starts. Rockies LHP Austin Gombler, who is 1-4 with a 4.82 ERA in his last five starts, might struggle against the Braves since this team is averaging 5.2 runs against lefty this season. In addition, the Braves covered -1.5 runs in all their last eight wins against Colorado. Our betting prediction for Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves: Pick the Braves to cover -1.5 runs, -130, at FanDuel.
