Rockies Looked Awful On Sunday

The Rockies on Sunday faced against the Kansas City Royals and it was another ugly Game. The Rockies scored only one run while the pitching gave up ten runs and that led to the defeat. Tanner Gordon went 6.1 innings, giving up eight hits and five runs. The Rockies need to find a way to get the offense going here, but the pitching is also going to need to be a lot better. The Rockies are averaging 4.14 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.8 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 19th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 30th. Ryan McMahon has hit 14 home runs and driven in 45 RBIs so far this season. Getting the start for the Rockies will be Ryan Feltner, and he sits with a 1-7 record and an ERA of 5.60. In his last start against the Milwaukee Brewers, he went five innings, giving up six hits and one run. The Rockies will meet the Mets after this series.

Reds Have Lost Three Straight

The Reds have lost three straight Games, and the Games against the Detroit Tigers were a major issue. On Sunday, against the Detroit Tigers, the Reds scored only a run, and they ended up losing by four runs. Graham Ashcraft went 4.2 innings, giving up six hits and one run. The Reds are averaging 4.24 runs, while their pitching is giving up 4.09 runs per Game. The offense is ranked 17th in the league, while the pitching is ranked 10th. Jeimer Candelario has hit 14 home runs and driven in 40 RBIs. Getting the start for the Reds will be Andrew Abbott, who sits with an 8-6 record and an ERA of 3.28. In his last start against the New York Yankees, he went 6.1 innings, giving up three hits and one run. 

Why the Reds Will Beat the Rockies

  • The Reds have won each of their last nine games as home favorites against the Rockies following a home loss.
  • The Rockies have lost each of their last six games against the Reds following a loss.
  • The Reds have covered the run line in seven of their last eight games against NL West opponents that held a losing record.
  • The Rockies have failed to cover the run line in each of their last five games as underdogs against the Reds following a loss.

Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

Ryan Feltner in his last start gave up only one run, but he still has been awful most of the season, and that is going to end up being the case again here. Abbott gave up only one run in his last start, and he’s going to really dominate again here. The Rockies bats are going to be ice-cold here, and it’s going to be the Reds that are going to end their losing streak. Back the Reds on the run line to cash here.
