The Reds and Ashcraft have the edge in this game. It’s hard to sweep a team in a series, but Dakota Hudson won’t be strong enough for the Rockies to carry this game. Colorado is 2-12 straight up this season when the money line is +125 to -125. The Rockies haven’t been great versus NL East opponents, going 1-7 this season. This is a tough spot for the Rockies to bounce back in against a better hitting team. They are 4-17 straight up this season after scoring 2 runs or less. Hudson is 3-8 this season as an underdog of +100 or higher and 1-4 this season in home games. Hudson also 1-6 after a loss this season. The Reds seem to be on fire while the Rockies have cooled. Take the Reds to sweep.

Best bet: take Cincinnati on the moneyline (ML).
