Lineup, how to watch Atlanta's Father's Day series finale with the Colorado Rockies

The Atlanta Braves are shooting for a series sweep behind the arm of veteran Charlie Morton

The Atlanta Braves have won twelve of their last fourteen games and are looking to make it a baker's dozen if they can take today's matchup against Colorado Rockies. With Saturday's 10-2 victory, Atlanta's secured their fifth straight series win and is aiming for their fifth sweep of the season if they can take the Father's Day matinee against Colorado.

As expected with Sean Murphy's removal from the game on Saturday, Travis d'Arnaud is the starting catcher for Atlanta in the series finale, batting 4th. Other than that, it's the "new look" lineup that's worked so well for the first few games of this series, with Ozzie Albies batting 2nd, Matt Olson batting 5th, and Marcell Ozuna (DH) and Eddie Rosario back to back behind Olson. 

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves vs Colorado Rockies on Sunday, June 18th

Starting for the Atlanta Braves is Charlie Morton. The veteran is 5-6 with a 3.60 ERA in his thirteen starts on the season, striking out eighty-five in his seventy-five innings of work. As expected from the veteran, he's faced the Rockies numerous times before, going 4-2 with a 3.89 ERA in his twelve career starts. He's won both of his Atlanta starts against the Rockies, both in Colorado, striking out twelve in twelve innings with eight total hits and six runs allowed. Two current Rockies have taken him deep, with Mike Moustakas (2-9, HR, 7 RBIs) and Jurickson Profar (4-15, HR, RBI) leading the charge. 

Opposing Atlanta is RHP Chase Anderson. The veteran is 0-0 with a 3.16 ERA in his six starts on the year, striking out twenty-three in his thirty-one and a third innings. Not many in Atlanta's lineup have that much experience or success against him, with Marcell Ozuna being the only lineup regular with more than five plate appearances (he has twenty-one) or more than two hits (7-21, HR, 2 RBIs) against Anderson.
