Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’ll stay with the Reds. Montas is pitching well right now despite a tepid 1-1 record over his last three starts. In that trio Montas has five earned runs combined over 17.0 innings on 11 hits and seven walks. As for Quantrill, he’s 0-1 in his last three with 10 earned in 16.1 innings total.
On Monday the Reds had some standout performers on offense—and also a few duds in the lineup. That said, the pitching really came through in the shutout win. I like Cincinnati to keep it rolling Tuesday.
