According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Reds are -120 money line favorites versus the Rockies, who have odds of +110 to pull off the small upset in Cincinnati. With Antonio Senzatela set to face Tim Adleman in the pitching matchup, the over/under currently sits at 9 runs.

Senzatela surrendered four runs on seven hits over five innings in Sunday’s win over the Dodgers. Senzatela struck out five and walked three on the afternoon. Three of the four runs he allowed came on homers, with Corey Seager taking him deep for a two-run shot in the first inning and Yasiel Puig rocking a solo dinger in the third inning. The 22-year-old right-hander has pitched quite respectably this season — particularly given his age — and will carry a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP into a road start against the Reds tonight.
Reds manager Bryan Price said Sunday that he expects Adleman (neck) to make his next scheduled start. Adleman was lifted from his start against the Giants on Sunday in the second inning due to tightness in his neck, but it appears to be only a minor issue. The right-hander owns an uninspiring 5.27 ERA on the season but sports a 26/8 K/BB ratio across 27 1/3 innings.
