Reds vs Rockies Prediction
The Rockies are coming off a nice week but they’re just not a team I trust to keep things going. This is a bottom-feeding roster that’s not going to win many games and 10 of their 16 losses have come on the road. If the Reds are going to build on this start and push for a playoff spot, these are games they need to take advantage of. Burns also looks sharp through 28 innings with his 2.57 ERA and 1.07 WHIP and 30 strikeouts. Freeland is still working his way back and has a small sample size. Give me the Reds and of course I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
