MLB Premium Play 04/23: Atlanta Braves @ Colorado Rockies


MLB - 909 Atlanta Braves @ 910 Colorado Rockies

(Starting Pitchers: J. Teheran vs J. Garland)

Julio Teheran is a top prospect, but he has been disappointing on the majors after dominating on the minors. Scouts say that his change up was supposed to be his dominant pitch, but he hasn't been able to throw strikes with them. So, he has been struggling on his command with 7 walks in 21 innings! This is very problematic, as he is flyball pitcher and he is going to be facing the #2 ranked team in the league in hitting against RH pitchers on a hitting-friendly park like Colorado's. 

On the other side, Joe Garland has been a nice surprise this season and his ability to generate ground balls has been the key for him to have nice numbers at home. With a 57% GB% rate, he has been able to be quite decent this season. Atlanta has a power lineup, who has been crushing flyball pitchers, but Garland with his groundballs will be a tough matchup for them. Therefore, I see Colorado getting revenge tonight from their loss earlier today on the first game of this doubleheader, with a nice win over the Braves tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 910 Colorado Rockies ML (w/ J. Garland) @ -120 / 1.83 on Bovada
