The Braves not only have the best record in baseball, but they have one of the great offenses of modern times. Atlanta ranks No. 1 in nearly every major category, including runs, batting average, homers and OPS. The Braves have seven players with 20 or more homers.

Colorado has one player with more than 15 homers.

So it's not a surprise the Braves have absolutely dominated the Rockies winning 12 of the past 13 games, including all six this season.

The setting is optimal for another huge Braves' scoring performance. They are playing at Coors Field and going against lefty Kyle Freeland. The Braves are batting .296 against southpaws. The next closest team is hitting .280. The Braves have a .534 slugging percentage versus lefties. The next closest team is at .479.

Plus Freeland sucks. He's 5-13 with a 5.00 ERA. That ERA goes up even more to 5.80 when you look at his lifetime ERA against the Braves in seven appearances. The Braves last saw Freeland on June 15. They got to him for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.

Darius Vines is set to make his major league debut for the Braves. He's a wild-card here. But the Braves are known for their wealth of young pitching talent. Vines had a 2.70 ERA in nine minor league starts since recovering from shoulder inflammation at the end of June.

The Rockies are bad and unmotivated, losers of eight of their last nine games. So even if Vines doesn't fare well - which I don't think will happen - the Braves' offense still should score a ton of runs to win by multiple runs.
