Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction
The Rockies haven’t won two straight games since June 18, and they continue to put their hat in the ring for the worst baseball team of all time. There’s no reason to back the Rockies when they’ve burned a hole in pockets all season. Blalock has a 12.94 ERA and 2.06 WHIP, and he’s allowed 15 hits and 15 runs in his last nine innings. There’s nothing left to say here, folks. I want nothing to do with the Rockies, and it doesn’t matter who is on the other side. Give me the Reds.
