The Atlanta Braves host the Colorado Rockies in a battle of bottom feeders here on Wednesday. The Rockies tied the series at 1-1 with a 5-1 win last night, but another win here in the rubber match is unlikely. The Braves will send a hot pitcher to the mound to try to silence the Colorado bats that rank dead last in the majors in runs scored on the road, batting .234 away from Coors Field.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Braves hand the ball to Shelby Miller who has pitched far better than his win/loss record would suggest. The 24 year old right-hander owns a minuscule 2.01 ERA in a dozen starts at Turner Field this season. The Rockies hand the ball to Yohan Flande, who is 3-0 with a 3.62 ERA since the All Star break.

2. Atlanta's Offense - The Braves rank dead last in the major leagues in runs scored, and they are batting just .239 versus left-handed pitching.

3. X-Factor - The under is 8-1 in Millers last nine starts overall.

Selection: This is a play on the Rockies@Braves to go UNDER the total (10*)
