Rockies vs Reds Prediction
The Reds probably win this game, but I am not really interested in trusting them here, instead, we are going to look at this game with the under. Feltner sits with an ERA of 3.98, and he was sure impressive in his last start. Lodolo might have a 2-2 record, but he also has a low ERA of 2.79, and he’s going to step up in a major way again here. Even at Coors Field, I expect both pitchers to be good. The under is 6-0-1 in Feltners’ last 7 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Back the under to cash.
