Braves vs. Rockies: Can Underdogs Shake Up the Odds on April 29?

Tuesday, April 29 is setting up to be another intriguing night as the Atlanta Braves, holding a 13-15 record, head out west to Denver’s Coors Field to take on the struggling Colorado Rockies, who sit at a tough 4-24. Although Atlanta hasn’t locked in their starting pitcher just yet, we know Germán Márquez will be toeing the rubber for Colorado—an intriguing choice given his rough outings this season. Just last night, the Braves took the Rockies down 6-3 thanks to a solid six innings from Bryce Elder, who surrendered three runs while fanning four hitters. On the flip side, Ryan Feltner started for the Rockies but gave up five runs over an indeterminate number of innings, continuing Colorado’s pitching woes.

As we zoom in on this matchup, there’s plenty to unpack—pitching battles, gritty performances, and a chance to spot some bets that could turn into sweet wins. Whether you’re here for the stats, the odds, or the gut calls, I’ll break down all the essential info—how to watch, probable pitchers, betting lines, plus expert picks backed by data-driven models and seasoned analysts.
