Rockies vs Reds Prediction
The Reds have underachieved up to this point but none of that matters here. The Rockies are ridiculously bad and looking more and more like the worst team in baseball. The Rockies also played a doubleheader last night that used seven pitchers. Not great with no day of rest. Abbott has also been strong through 11 innings this season, allowing four hits and two runs while striking out 16. I’m going to continue fading the Rockies until they show some sort of life, and this line is a joke given their play up to this point. I’ll gladly lay the soft price with the Reds.
