Braves Look to Complete Sweep, Build Momentum for Mets

The Atlanta Braves are finally building some steam. They’ll look to secure their first three-game winning streak in over a month and complete a series sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon.

Atlanta’s Stars are Aligning

After a long losing streak, the Braves’ best players are leading the charge back. First baseman Matt Olson has reached base in 16 straight games, and Ronald Acuna Jr. is hitting with authority since returning from injury, blasting his seventh homer of the season on Saturday. That followed a dominant 13-strikeout performance from ace Spencer Strider in the same game.

“I’m super happy,” Acuna said. “All the work went into where we are now.” Manager Brian Snitker added, “You like seeing them healthy and on the field, because those guys are what this game is all about.”

A Historically Bad Season in Colorado

The Rockies are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Their loss on Saturday dropped them to 13-57, officially the worst start to a season through 70 games for any of the MLB teams in the modern era (since 1901). They have now lost seven of their last eight games.

An Uncertain Pitching Duel

Sunday’s pitching matchup is full of question marks. The Braves are giving Grant Holmes (3-5, 4.07 ERA) the start, pushing ace Chris Sale back to be ready for a crucial series against the Mets. This kind of strategic planning is a fascinating aspect covered in our expert betting guide.

The Rockies will counter with the ultimate wild card: left-hander Austin Gomber, who is making his first start of the season after a long stint on the injured list. “I feel like I’m ready,” Gomber said. “I’m able to go out there and compete right now, absolutely.” This unpredictable matchup will make the scores and odds board one to watch.
