Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds Prediction 

Colorado was able to pick up the win in game three of this series on Wednesday, but they have been terrible on the road this season and their pitching staff has the worst team ERA in the MLB. The Rockies are 13-33 on the road, while the Reds are 22-27 at home. Cincinnati is trying to stay out of last place in the NL Central, but they need to find some better pitching, as they have been pretty bad over the last six games. The Reds are starting Hunter Greene, who has been very good in recent outings and I think he will have another solid outing against a below average Colorado lineup. My Colorado Rockies vs Cincinnati Reds prediction is for the Reds to win by at least two runs.
