Reds at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 6, Reds 5
Moneyline
After a slow start at Coors Field, the Rockies are 9-11 at home, while the Reds are 6-14 on the road. The Rockies are 2-2 on their current homestand and the Reds are 2-2 on their current road trip.
Anderson is making his Colorado debut and has a career 7.67 ERA at Coors Field, but Williamson is making his MLB debut in a tough stadium to pitch in.
The Rockies are hotter right now having won 10 of their last 14 games.
BET ROCKIES (-130).
Run line/Against the spread
The Rockies won by only 1 run on Monday, but 6 of their last 8 wins have been by 2 or more runs.
However, with two starters making their debuts for their teams and with the volatility of Coors Field, with the added bonus that the moneyline bet is a decent line, PASS.
