Reds at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Reds 7, Rockies 6
Moneyline
The Rockies are 13-14 at home this season while the Reds are 12-16 on the road. The Rockies have won 8 of their last 10 at Coors Field.
The Rockies have lost Feltner’s last 3 starts and 5 of his last 6.
Abbott’s last start was his worst of the season and was on the heels of his best stretch. Pitching in Denver will be different, but he will do enough to get the Reds the win.
The Rockies might take the series, but the Reds will take the opener.
BET REDS (-125).
Run line/Against the spread
The Reds have won 6 of their last 9 games overall and 5 of those wins were by 2 or more runs.
Ten of the Rockies’ last 12 losses were by multiple runs.
This is a good game to double down on, betting the Reds to win straight up and then wagering some on the run line to get some plus odds.
BET REDS -1.5 (+125).
Over/Under
Four of the Rockies’ last 6 home games had more than 10 total runs.
While the Reds only have 1 game with more than 10 total runs in their last 8, 5 of the Rockies’ last 10 games overall have.
BET OVER 10.5 (-110).
