Reds vs Rockies MLB Betting Preview
Action PRO projects Reds starter Rhett Lowder for 2.71 strikeouts in tonight's matchup against the Rockies, giving us a solid 10.7% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 3.5, which is good enough to tag the Under with a B grade in our system.
Reds vs Rockies Pick, Betting Analysis
Lowder has recorded 59 strikeouts so far this season, but this number may be a bit too high for tonight's matchup.
His recent form is cratering in the swing-and-miss department. The rookie has failed to clear this 3.5 line in each of his last three starts, managing just one strikeout against the Cubs, two against the Phillies, and a completely blank slate (zero strikeouts) against the Orioles.
Given Lowder's recent inability to miss bats and the high probability of a shortened outing in the grueling Colorado heat, he simply won't have the volume or the depth in this game to rack up four strikeouts. Fade the over and ride the sharp side with the under.
Pick: Rhett Lowder Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-153, DraftKings)
