Rockies vs Reds -147 O/U 9
This should be an interesting game. The sentiment is quite low on the Rockies on the road and it should be with this team 5-25. But looking at this line, I feel that was factored into the fact that Cincinnati’s Bullpen ranks dead last in FIP at 4.92 and the Rockies are slightly better at 4.82. Lots of variance there. Why are we not looking at the first 5 innings? Marquez is Colorado’s best pitcher at 3.57 FIP but his away numbers are 4.72. Miley’s FIP is 2.98 in general and 3.75 at Great American Ballpark. The only nod I can give the Rockies is that they are middle of the road when it comes to hitting lefties at 99 wRC+ and I wonder if that’s the reason the 1st 5 is so cheap. I don’t trust either bullpen today and the high total says that, but I will go with the home team here for an even better price on the first 5 innings.
Reds 1st 5 -135 – 2 stars
