The Reds should take advantage of these Rockies, but I’m looking at the over instead. Lorenzen has a 5.97 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 28.2 innings. Abbott has a 6.59 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 28.2 innings. We’ve seen a combined 8 homers allowed and 19 walks. Just awful form across the board and a quick turnaround in a series that’s produced a lot of crooked numbers. I expect the runs to continue. Give me the over.
