Lineup, how to watch Ronald Acuña Jr and the Atlanta Braves take on the Colorado Rockies in Coors Field

After a dominant night on offense, Atlanta's MVP candidate is hoping for a repeat performance to go ahead and secure the series

Ronald Acuña Jr had such an amazing game last night, he actually changed the MVP odds. 

Going into last night's matchup with Colorado, Ronald Acuña Jr had been passed in the common MVP odds by Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers. 

Apparently, he took that personally. 

Ronald single-handedly WRECKED the Rockies on Monday night, finishing with four hits, including a double and a home run, walked once, knocked in five RBIs, stole two bags, and scored four runs. 

And as of this morning, DraftKings reversed course and re-installed Ronald as the favorite, at -135, with Mookie Betts at +100.
