Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies, Prediction, Odds & Best Bets: June 3rd, 2024

The Cincinnati Reds are out in the mountains taking on the Colorado Rockies for a three game series in Denver. Neither team is giving their fans something to cheer about as they both sit in last place of their division. The 26-33 Reds are just one game out of 4th place, and 10 out of 1st in the NL Central, while the Rockies have it a bit worse.

Colorado is 5.5 games behind Arizona for 4th place in the NL West, and 15.5 total games behind the Dodgers for 1st place. However, we still have a very long season to go, and there’s plenty of time for these teams to turn it around, starting tonight!

Can the Rockies pull of a win at home where they are 4/6 in their L2 series at Coors? Or will the Reds stay hot on their road trip?

Can Abbott Shutdown Rockies at Home?

Now, I don’t fully trust Andrew Abbott on the mound, however I think we can back him today. He is coming off a home start where he allowed 6 runs on 7 hits to the Cardinals, including 2 home runs. Overall, he actually seems to pitch better on the road, and he certainly has a lower ERA away from home to show for it.

We know balls can absolutely fly at Coors, and I think that will play to the strengths of these Reds hitters. I’m not gonna sit here and try to sell you on the fact that the Reds are a good hitting team, quite frankly, they aren’t. However, I am more than happy to fade Ryan Feltner in this position.

We’ve faded him before, and it’s worked in our favor, so why not go right back to him?

Feltner has allowed 2+ runs in 9 of his 11 starts, has allowed a home run in 6 of those starts, yet he’s only allowed 2 home runs in Coors this year. Both happening last time out against the Guardians on Tuesday. Feltner was coming off his best start of the year, and then got shelled by the Guardians. Although the Reds bats don’t quite compare, I think Cincinnati will be a tough matchup for him regardless.

I’ve got no problem fading Feltner, and I’ll be backing the Reds on a great line.

Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies Best Bets

Best Bets: Reds ML (-108) BetOnline

Plain and simple, we are fading Feltner. BetOnline is giving us (-108) odds which is 5-12 centers better than the rest of the market, so of course, we hopped on board. The Reds are certainly not a team you will find me backing on a daily basis, however, there is a time and place for everything.

The Rockies are just a bad baseball team this year, and even being at home, I trust the Reds to start off this series hot and win this game on the road. Fade Ryan Feltner, especially at Coors, and back Cincinnati to get the job done.
