The Braves have a little ground to make up if they want to seriously contend for a NL East title and it starts tonight hosting the Rockies.
Colorado is sending Jose Urena to the mound who has been absolutely dreadful as of late. He's allowed 19 earned runs in his last 20 innings pitched including six home runs. Ronald Acuna Jr's power has fallen off this season with only 10 so far this season.
This is a perfect spot for him to get his power in order as he's 4-17 with a home run against Urena all-time. Acuna Jr. is day-to-day so be sure to keep an eye on his status going into tonight's game. He's hit seven of his ten home runs at home in 14 less at-bats than on the road.
He's hit .444 against the Rockies this season with a home run. All the analytics point to Acuna Jr. having a high possibility to hit a home run tonight but his odds haven't been determined yet due to him being banged up.
