His MLB player stats show that in his last three starts, he has gone 3-0, throwing a combined 18 innings of shutout ball over those three games. In that span, he has allowed just nine hits and has struck out a combined 25.

Rockies Hope Lambert Can Tame Braves’ Bats

Facing the best offense in baseball, Colorado will turn to 26-year-old righty Peter Lambert in the second game of the series.

Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies Picks and Predictions

• After evaluating the Braves vs Rockies odds, we will be taking the Braves to win and cover the -1.5 (-170) in this one.

For as good as Peter Lambert has thrown lately, it is still just hard to make any Colorado Rockies picks at this point.

The Braves have just played on a whole different level than the rest of the majors. Add to that the fact that Charlie Morton has been solid on the road this season with a 6-5 record and a 3.53 ERA, and it might be too much for the Rockies to overcome.

In terms of the total, take the under-12 runs in this one (-105). While both of these teams can put runs up in bunches, both of these pitchers have thrown well enough lately to keep the total lower than 12 runs.
