Milwaukee Brewers vs. Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers enter this season with a record of 18-10, and they have also gone 9-4 away from home. Milwaukee is hitting just .241 as a team, but they have also belted 33 home runs.
Rowdy Tellez has been setting the tone for this offense as he has belted eight home runs to lead the way. Milwaukee isn’t a team that is going to have an MVP candidate in the lineup, but they just make things hard for opposing pitchers.
C.J. Cron has once again put up some solid MLB player stats for the Rockies as he leads the team with six home runs and 16 RBIs. Cron just hasn’t been getting a ton of help from his teammates, and the Rockies also come into play with a team ERA of 5.36.
Colorado is usually a tough team to deal with at Coors Field, but they have managed to go just 4-9 so far this season. The Rockies have still been a solid offensive team, but they just haven’t been able to get enough outs to win games this season.
Starting Pitchers
Freddy Peralta (Brewers)
There are a couple of Brewers pitchers on the MLB injury report, and that puts even more pressure on Freddy Peralta to perform. Peralta has gone 3-2 with a 3.77 ERA to begin the season, but he is actually capable of pitching much better than that.
Milwaukee also has a dominant bullpen, and they only need Peralta to deliver a quality start to have a chance to win this game.
Ryan Feltner (Rockies)
The Colorado Rockies haven’t won many MLB games this season, but Ryan Feltner has actually done a pretty good job. Feltner comes into this game with a record of 2-2 to go along with a 4.68 ERA.
Colorado wants to win the game by scoring runs at Coors Field, but they will need Feltner to at least give them a chance to get that done.
Milwaukee Brewers vs. Colorado Rockies Picks and Predictions
There are a couple of Brewers vs Rockies picks that should stand out when looking at this matchup, and it’s important to keep things pretty simple. Milwaukee is going to win this game behind Freddy Peralta, and taking them on the moneyline is the first wager to make.
The over/under line is set at 11.5 total runs, and that just feels way too high for a game featuring the Milwaukee Brewers. Peralta isn’t going to give up many runs, and the Brewers won’t have a big day at the plate.
It will be interesting to see the Milwaukee Brewers score today. If you are betting the total number or runs then taking the under 11.5 is the way to go.
- Over/Under: Under 11.5
- Moneyline: Milwaukee Brewers -170
