Rockies at Reds 7/28/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Colorado Rockies will be looking to take the Reds to task in this game, but it could be quite a challenge for the Rockies. Especially since the Rockies are not a great road team on the season as they are already 8 games under the five hundred mark on the year. The Reds, though, have actually improved to the point they are a team that is right at the five hundred mark on the year. That is definitely going to make it easier for the Reds to have confidence in this game compared to what they have had in the past.

Nolan Arenado is the hitter for the Rockies when it comes to power with a total of 22 homers and 76 RBIs on the season so far. When it comes to hitting for average, the Rockies have relied on Charlie Blackmon who has hit at a clip of .323 this year. For the Reds they have been able to rely on Eugenio Suarez who has hit 27 RBIs and brought home 67 runners on the year. Jose Iglesias is the hitter for the average for the Reds at a .280 average. Peter Lambert is the pitcher the Rockies are putting on the mound in this game here. He has posted a 2-2 record and a 5.93 ERA on the year so far. He has thrown a total of 41 innings on the year with 31 strikeouts with 52 hits and 8 walks.

Alex Wood is the pitcher the Reds are putting on the mound in this game. Wood has not made a start this year, but has thrown a total of 803.1 innings in his career with 738 strikeouts. He has posted a career record of 52-40 and has a 3.29 ERA.

The Reds are playing decent at home and have Wood on the mound who has done decent in his career. Look for the Rockies offense to struggle to figure out how to beat Wood in this game as they are not familiar with the way he pitches on the year. However, one thing that will make the difference is once the Rockies do figure out how to hit him they will rock his day and that makes the game tip in favor of the Rockies. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Rockies win 7-3.
