Free MLB Pick
The pitching matchup in this game suggests a play on the over and that’s exactly where our money is going to land. Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani has pitched well on the road this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 2.53 ERA, but he’s been in a funk in recent games getting lit up for 14 runs in 17 1/3 innings over his last three starts. He’ll be making his first career start at Coors where many pitchers struggle. Eddie Butler goes for the Rockies as he returns to the rotation after a stint in Triple-A where he didn’t impress. Butler has been dreadful at home with a 1-3 record and 6.41 ERA and he didn’t show any signs of that changes with his form when taking the mound for the Albuquerque Isotopes. Both teams have been struggling but their offense hasn’t been the reason with both teams putting up runs on the board.
