Totals at 13.5 don’t come around often. We see them from time to time at Coors Field or if there’s a game in Mexico City with high elevation. Tonight, we have a 13.5 total in Colorado. They could’ve set the total at 20.5, and I’d be taking the over in this matchup.

Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves Prediction
Kyle Freeland is one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball. Tonight, he will have to face the best offense in baseball, the Atlanta Braves. Unfortunately, for Freeland, the Braves love facing left-handed pitching. He’s allowed eight hits in each of his last two starts… imagine what the Braves lineup will do to him at Coors Field.
Don’t expect the Braves to be the only team scoring in this matchup. The Rockies will face Darius Vines in his major league debut, along with the sub-par Braves’ bullpen. Colorado’s roster may be depleted after the trade deadline, but they can still put up some runs at home. This one is panning out to be an offensive shootout.
Both starting pitchers have tough assignments tonight. Overs are 6-3-1 in the Rockies last ten home games, and after last night’s low-scoring affair I want to jump on this over that the public’s too scared to back at that high number.
You don’t see totals this high very often. A lot of times, a 13.5 total will scare most bettors off the over because of how high the number is. Don’t get scared off by this high total, it’s this high for a reason. Bet the over, sit back and enjoy the offensive masterclass in Colorado tonight.
