The Colorado Rockies (32-58) and Cincinnati Reds (42-48) begin a 4-game series Monday. First pitch from Great American Ball Park is slated for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Reds lead 3-0

The Rockies had their 3-game win streak snapped Sunday in a 10-1 loss to  the Kansas City Royals. RHP Tanner Gordon got roughed up for 5 ER on 8 hits over 6 1/3 innings in his MLB debut. Colorado finishes the 1st half of their season on a 7-game road trip.

Cincinnati took it on the chin in Detroit over the weekend getting swept by the Tigers. They only managed an RBI groundout from SS Noelvi Marte in Sunday’s 5-1 loss. The Reds struck out 15 times, 13 by Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal. Cincinnati is in the midst of a 10-game homestand.

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 6, Rockies 2

Moneyline.

PASS.

The Reds (-190) will be looking for blood on Monday night after the disappointment over the weekend against the Tigers. This is a perfect opportunity to get back on the right track against a far inferior team. I like them to win comfortably which is why I’ll save my wager for the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET REDS -1.5 (+108).

Abbott has been fantastic, especially of late. He is 5-1 with a 3.27 since the beginning of June. He is also a career 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA (16 K, 12 IP) in 2 starts against Colorado.

Meanwhile, Feltner was 0-3 with a 6.59 ERA in June. He hasn’t won a game since April 12th. Colorado is not a good team; they are 12-31 on the road (2-6 in their last 8).

The Reds have owned the Rockies thus far in 2024.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9.5 (-122).

While their last 6 meetings are 3-3 O/U, both of these teams have been hitting a lot of Unders. The Rockies have been Under in 5 of their last 6 games, the Reds are 1-3-1 against the Over in their last 5.

The Colorado Rockies (29-47) and the Cincinnati Reds (39-35) wrap up a 3-game series Wednesday at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is scheduled for 12:35 p.m (ESPN+). ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

The Reds have rattled off 10 consecutive victories since June 10, storming into first place in the NL Central by a half-game over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Cincinnati has done a great job of stacking wins lately, going 15-2 in the past 17 games following a victory. It is also 13-3 in the past 16 tries against a right-handed starting pitcher.

Rockies at Reds projected starters

RHP Connor Seabold vs. LHP Andrew Abbott

Seabold (1-3, 5.88 ERA) makes his 10th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.48 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 over 56 2/3 IP.

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 6, Rockies 2

Moneyline

The Reds (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times more than your initial wager, which is just too expensive.

The Rockies (+200) are a tempting play for a chance to double up, but they cannot be trusted. Colorado has won just 3 of the past 18 tries against winning teams and is 5-17 in the past 22 games overall.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The REDS -1.5 (-125) won’t set you back too much if you’d like the home side on the run line.

Cincinnati covered the run line as a favorite in Tuesday’s game, and it has won by 2 or more runs in 4 of the past 6 outings.

The Rockies +1.5 (+105) are not a recommended play, as their margin of defeat in the past 5 outings is 5.8 runs per game.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The UNDER 9 (-115) is worth playing, even though Seabold is a little on the shaky side.

It’s all about Abbott driving this Under train, as he is the first MLB pitcher since 1893 with 3 consecutive scoreless starts of 5 or more innings to begin his career.

The Under is 5-0 in the Rockies’ last 5 tries against left-handed starting pitchers and is 20-9-1 in the past 30 road games against teams with a winning overall record.

The Reds have plated 5 or more runs in 4 straight outings while posting 4 or more runs in 10 of the past 11 games. Still, the Under has cashed in 2 of Abbott’s 3 outings, and it’s the way to go Wednesday afternoon.

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The REDS (-175) are red-hot and looking to hit double digits in the win streak column.

Colorado’s Davis isn’t terribly experienced and he hasn’t pitched in the majors in nearly 2 calendar months. He comes up from Triple-A Albuquerque to take the rotation spot of RHP Dinelson Lamet, who was designated for assignment.

The Rockies have won just 3 of their last 17 games against winning teams, and 5 of their last 21 games overall. Back the red-hot Reds until further notice.

Run line/Against the spread

The REDS -1.5 (+105) are worth playing lightly at plus money.

While Cincinnati has won 9 in a row, 5 of the past 8 victories have been by a single run, so be careful. Still, GABP has been a house of horrors for the Rockies and you cannot trust the visitors.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The OVER 9.5 (-115) is a strong play in this middle contest.

The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games for the Rockies against a right-handed starting pitcher, while going 4-1 in the past 5 road outings vs. RHP, too.

The Over is 8-2 in the Reds’ past 10 tries, and 4-1 in their past 5 home outings, against a southpaw.

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Reds have been rolling recently, winning 8 consecutive games and all of them on the road. Cincinnati returns home for Monday’s contest and Colorado is a dismal 13-26 on the road this season.

The Rockies are also 1-7 in the last 8 road meetings against the Reds.

BET REDS (-165).

Run line/Against the spread

REDS -1.5 (+110) is a fantastic value with how these teams have been playing in recent weeks. Williamson has had success against the Rockies this season and the Reds should have no problem producing runs on Gomber.

Over/Under

BET OVER 10 (-115).

Great American Ball Park is a hitter-friendly venue and the Reds are tied for the 9th-best ISO (.174) against left-handed pitching since the beginning of May.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams and 11-4-1 in their last 16 meetings in Cincinnati.

Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds Game 1 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (56-77) meet the Cincinnati Reds (52-78) Sunday in the 2nd game of a 3-game set and 1st game of a doubleheader at Great American Ball Park. First pitch is set for 12:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Rockies lead 3-1

Saturday’s game was rained out. The Rockies fell 3-2 in the series opener Friday and have lost 3 outings in a row and 7 of 9. They’re one of the worst road teams in baseball at 20-45 and have plated just 15 runs in their last 8 road games.

Cincinnati got 4 scoreless IP out of its bullpen Friday before the impromptu off-day Saturday. They enter Sunday fresh as winners of 4 of 7. They have scored just 20 runs in their last 7 home games, though, and they’ll need to step it up Sunday in what isn’t expected to be a pitchers’ duel.

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 4, Rockies 3

Money line

There’s a 57% chance of rain again today, and that’ll be something to keep an eye on. If the weather looks like it’ll threaten the game or there’s any lengthy delay, the Reds will likely be extra conservative with Lodolo’s young arm. And he’s the X-factor. Take the REDS (-125) as long as he toes the rubber.

Run line/Against the spread

The weather could impact this one, and I’m going to steer clear of the RL. PASS.

Over/Under

I like the Under here, even without the weather potentially trimming the game up. The Under is 6-0 for the Rockies over their last 6 games. There’s a slight breeze coming in from right-center field. Lodolo has been great at home.

Take the UNDER 8.5 (-120).

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 4, Rockies 3

Money line

There’s an 86% chance of rain and an 11-mph wind blowing in from center field. So this probably won’t be your typical Rockies-Reds affair. Lodolo has been mostly unhittable at home of late. Can the Reds’ bullpen hold after throwing 4 innings last night, though? To be on the safe side, I’ll take REDS FIRST 5 INNINGS (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

With the weather possibly playing a factor in this one, I’m going to PASS on the RL and look to the total.

Over/Under

This is a pretty enticing number. Marquez is better on the road, and Lodolo has been great at home lately. The wind is blowing in, rainy, 75-degree weather. The Under is 6-0 for the Rockies over their last 6 games. There’s a lot to like about the UNDER 8.5 (-125).

Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (25-40) meet the Cincinnati Reds (31-31) Sunday to wrap up a three-game series with a 1:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Great American Ball Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 2-6 with a 4.62 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 5.9 K/9 in 64 1/3 IP over 12 starts.

During his one start against the Reds this season, Senzatela dealt, allowing 1 ER in 7 IP. In his last start Tuesday at Miami he allowed 4 ER on 9 H and 1 BB with 8 K in 6 IP. The 26-year-old has struggled away from home in his four road starts.

RHP Tony Santillan is the projected starting pitcher for the Reds. He is set to make his big-league debut after posting a 2.51 ERA through 6 starts while with Triple-A Louisville.

Santillan was the team’s second-round pick in 2015, and is stepping into the rotation as RHP Sonny Gray is nursing a groin injury.

  • Money line: Rockies +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Reds -155 (bet $155 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-145) | Reds -1.5 (+120)
  • Over/Under: 10 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Reds 8, Rockies 4

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line despite the Reds hitting their stride.

After five different batters hit a home run in each of the first five innings Friday, something that had not been done in the organization’s lengthy history, Cincinnati followed up with another double-digit run performance against a better pitcher Saturday.

With Senzatela taking the mound, it could get ugly again as the Rockies are now 5-26 on the road, a record too grave to overlook.

At the same time, the obvious is that the Reds have a new pitcher on the mound. At (-155), it’s not worth betting that he’ll have an outstanding first outing.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” the Reds -1.5 (+120) as they’ve blown out the Rockies in each of the first two games and don’t look to be slowing down.

Joey Votto has 3 H in 8 AB in the series and has accumulated 6 RBIs. The former NL MVP is making good contact since his return from the Injured List.

With Votto and Nick Castellanos already batting extremely well against the Rockies, there’s no reason to think this won’t be a sweep. The first two games have been separated by at least five runs each, and this one could easily follow that pattern.

Nonetheless, with a money-back value, the Reds spread is the way to go instead of the money line. However, there may be a better play considering the debuting pitcher.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 10 (-110) because the Rockies just cannot contain Cincinnati. The Reds have beaten the Rockies in two straight games by a combined score of 21-8, and without Colorado’s ace on the mound, there’s no reason to think they can keep them down today.

Along those lines, the Rockies have scored 4 runs per game in the series on their own. The over should hit in this one if the series continues as it has the first couple of games.

Also, as noted, Tony Santillan is making his big-league debut which could result in a big scoreline for Colorado. Then again, he was pitching well at Triple-A Louisville, so he may also impress at the highest level.

Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rockies vs. Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (25-39) and Cincinnati Reds (30-31) match up Saturday at 4:10 p.m. ET in Great American Ball Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP German Marquez is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 4-5 with a 3.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 9.5 K/9 in 71 1/3 IP over 13 starts.

Marquez has pitched very well lately, totaling just three earned runs in his last 26 IP. With a combined 27 strikeouts over that period, he’ll look to continue his hot streak.

LHP Wade Miley is the projected starting pitcher for the Reds. He is 5-4 with a 2.96 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 7.9 K/9 in 54 2/3 IP over 10 starts. Having thrown a no-hitter this season, Miley had made his presence felt.

While he’s given up just two earned runs in his last 15 2/3 innings, the game prior to that streak he had eight earned runs against Colorado. He’s hoping for better luck in Round 2.

Rockies at Reds odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:05 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rockies +115 (bet $100 to win $115) | Reds -140 (bet $140 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-165) | Reds -1.5 (+140)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Rockies 5, Reds 4

Money line (ML)

BET to the Rockies (+115).

The Rockies scored 5 runs in the opening game of the series and got an awful performance from starting pitcher Kyle Freeland. With Marquez on the mound, they should be able to tame the Reds.

If that’s the case, they could easily sneak away with the win. The Reds are 4-7 after winning the first game in the series.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the Rockies +1.5 (-165) even though they started to make contact at the plate in Game 1 of the series after five scoreless innings.

Colorado also didn’t hit well against one of the worst bullpens in the MLB. Miley takes the mound for Cincinnati, and the Rockies have the league’s fifth-best OPS against left-handed pitching.

Combine all that, and the faith should be in Colorado to pull off the upset. While it could be close, the pick for the Rockies straight up is a better value than the run line.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS on the total as it climbed from their series’ opener after the two teams combined for 16 runs.

Both teams hit well in Game 1 of the series. While the Rockies did lose by six, they put up five runs of their own.

After wearing down Reds starter Tyler Mahle, Colorado was able to put up a four-run inning. Cincinnati was hitting historically well. I don’t expect that to continue.

The last two times the Reds put up five or more runs, they had three or fewer in the next game of the series. If that trend continues, expect the Under to hit, but I don’t find the value in betting this one either way.

Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rockies at Cincinnati Reds odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (25-38) and Cincinnati Reds (29-31) match up Friday in the first game of a three-game set at Great American Ball Park. First pitch will be at 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Reds odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Kyle Freeland is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA, 2.08 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9 and 4.8 K/9 across 13 IP over 3 starts. Freeland kicked off his season May 25.

He has just 3 starts and gave up 5 earned runs last time out. Two of those three appearances came against teams at the top of their respective division.

RHP Tyler Mahle is the projected starting pitcher for the Reds. He is 5-2 with a 3.32 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 in 62 1/3 IP over 12 starts.

Mahle’s 5 wins are tied for the most on the team this season. Since pitching two innings in a game in which the San Francisco Giants put up 19 runs on the Reds, Mahle has been phenomenal with just 2 earned runs allowed over 17 1/3 innings.

Rockies at Reds odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:50 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rockies +170 (bet $100 to win $170) | Reds -200 (bet $200 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-110) | Reds -1.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Reds 7, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line because it’s a bit too favorable for Cincinnati. The Rockies are by far the worst road team in MLB at 5-24.

2B Ryan McMahon has been the Rockies’ best hitter this season, but he’s been cold lately. McMahon hasn’t his a home run in 13 games and has just four hits in his last seven games.

As for the Reds’ bats, Cincinnati has the second-fewest at-bats against left-handed pitchers is 25th with a .667 team OPS in the split. It could spell trouble for the Reds, but playing for a fourth straight day at home while Colorado was in Miami last night could help their cause.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

BET REDS -1.5 (-110) because the pitching difference is too great to overlook.

Mahle has been on fire while Freeland is coming off a difficult outing. Combine that with the Rockies’ horrible road record, and the Reds should be able to take care of business.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 9 (-120) because both teams have allowed monster performances this season. Coming off allowing 11 runs to the Marlins Thursday, the Rockies remain on the road, and it could continue to be ugly.

The Reds have given up 10-plus runs multiple times this season as well. While Mahle has been great, he has given up 5 earned runs twice in his last seven starts. Another performance like that and the Over is hitting easily.
