Colorado Rockies
The Astros beat up the Rockies badly on Wednesday. Carlos Correa hit his first home run since returning for a long stint on the DL with a back problem and Gerrit Cole struck out a dozen in six innings.
But the Rockies got their split in Minute Maid Park and will go on to Atlanta, just trying to keep things close in the wild card in the middle of a rough stretch of road games.

Kyle Freeland has been excellent and he’ll face a fellow sophomore, Sean Newcomb in this game on Friday, the second of a four-game set between two playoff-hopefuls.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves just keep on winning. The Phillies squeaked one out on Wednesday to keep pace but as we approach the September sprint, it appears like the NL East is the Braves’ division to lose.
The young hot dogs mixed with Freddie Freeman and Nick Markakis make Atlanta one of the biggest unknowns going into the playoffs.

Plus, its starting rotation is relatively untested in the playoffs. Julio Teheran and Anibal Sanchez have some postseason experience but Sean Newcomb has taken on a bigger load this year in his sophomore season and Kevin Gausman never did much with Baltimore in the playoffs.
That Mr. Newcomb takes the ball in this game, a week after getting roughed up a bit by the Brewers.

Free Colorado Rockies vs. Atlanta Braves MLB Prediction: over.
I’m not sure about Freeland on the road against a hot Braves lineup. And I’m not excited to get behind Newcomb, who struggled in his last start. Perhaps we’ll get good value with an over play.
