Reds vs Rockies Prediction
As I’ve said endless times this season, backing the Rockies is bad business. You’re talking about one of the worst teams in the history of the sport. Gomber has just 24.1 innings under his belt this season, and he’s allowed 33 hits and 16 earned runs. No, thanks. Martinez has been hittable this season, and that includes allowing 14 runs in his last 11.2 innings. Still, it’s the Rockies. If there was ever a game for Martinez to right the ship, it’s this one. I’m going to keep fading the Rockies. Give me the Reds and the RL for max betting value.
