Colorado vs Atlanta Stats

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies are set to have Austin Gomber make his season debut after recovering from a shoulder injury. Despite subpar stats last season, Gomber is a veteran presence who could help the struggling pitching staff. The team has had some recent success on the road, with a rare sweep against the Marlins. However, they dropped two of three games at home against the Giants prior to this series. The pitching staff has been a weak point, ranking last in many categories. Ryan McMahon and Jordan Beck have been standouts offensively, but Brenton Doyle has struggled this month. Overall, the Rockies are struggling offensively and defensively, with a power ranking of 30 and a record of 13-56.

Atlanta Braves Analysis

Boston Red Sox's Chris Sale will be starting on Sunday after an impressive performance in his recent outing against the Brewers. Sale has been dominant this season, with a 2.79 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves are struggling this season, currently sitting nine games out of a wildcard spot. Despite bouncing back with a series win against the Brewers, the Braves are facing a tough challenge against Sale. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been a standout player for the Braves, posting a 1.08 OPS in June. However, other players like Sean Murphy are struggling offensively. Overall, Atlanta has a solid pitching staff with a 3.70 ERA but their offense is lagging behind, averaging 4.07 runs per game. They will need to step up their game to compete against the Red Sox and improve their season record.
