Reds vs Rockies Prediction 

Cincinnati comes into this matchup looking for the series sweep, and they have won three games in a row. The Reds are 8-7 on the road this year, while the Rockies are 3-8 at home. Colorado has just four wins on the season, and they have one of the worst team ERA in the MLB. The Rockies are starting Feltner, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts. The Reds are going with Lodolo, who has allowed three and four earned runs in his last two outings. Feltner has been the lone bright spot for this Colorado pitching staff, and I think he gives them a very good chance to win.
