Charlie Wright's Rockies vs Reds Best Bet: Back Burns vs. Rockies
It was great to see Chase Burns bounce back on Sunday against Philadelphia after a disastrous outing against Boston. He notched seven strikeouts over 4 2/3 innigs against Philadelphia, bringing his strikeout rate to an elite 30.6%. Burns has dealt with a trio of tough matchups to start his career (Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies), but gets a great spot tonight.
The Rockies easily lead the league in strikeout rate against right-handed pitchers over the past 30 days and Burns will face them away from Coors Field, which has been an even better matchup. The Rockies have posted a massive 32.3% strikeout rate vs. right-handed pitching on the road over the past 30 days.
Pick: Chase Burns Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-155)
