Cincinnati Reds vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Rockies in this one. Brady Singer’s been ineffective on the road this season and the Rockies have been really solid against left-handed pitching up to this point. Colorado has had a lot of success at home as well, not just this season, but over the years, and I think that the Rockies draw first blood in this matchup. Give me Colorado.
