Atlanta has won five of its last six games, and I like the price we get on the Braves here at Coors Field Monday night.

Colorado's Kyle Freeland (1-1, 2.31 ERA) has posted a 4.13 ERA in four career starts against the Atlanta, and the current Braves are batting a combined .328 over 64 at bats against him. Nick Markakis is 5-for-11 with a pair of homers off the 25 year old southpaw.

Atlanta right-hander Julio Teheran (0-1, 3.60 ERA) is 5-1 with a 2.25 ERA through 10 career starts against Colorado and the Braves are 5-1 in his last six starts vs. a team with a losing record.

The Rockies are off to a disappointing 3-7 start to the season and I'm not even sure they should even be the favorite in this matchup.

8* play on Atlanta Braves.
