Colorado Rockies vs. Milwaukee Brewers Betting Prediction

The Rockies send LHP Kyle Freeland to the mound against Milwaukee’s ninth-ranked scoring offense on Monday night (4.60 RSPG), who’s having the second-worst campaign of his six-year career sitting 4-7 with a 4.96 ERA across 18 starts (1.41 WHIP); recently highlighted by an 0-2 record and 8.44 ERA in the month of July (3 GS, 1.56 WHIP).

On the other hand, the Brewers send LHP Aaron Ashby to the hill against Colorado’s seventh-ranked scoring offense tonight (4.64 RSPG), who’s also having a bumpy campaign sitting 2-7 with a 4.57 ERA in 18 trips to the mound this season (1.49 WHIP), which includes a 2-5 record and 5.13 ERA across 12 starts (1.60 WHIP); and a 0-2 record with a 2.45 ERA across six bullpen appearances (1.09 WHIP).

I’ll take the over here, as Freeland has surrendered four runs or more in four of his last six outings for Colorado (6.00 ERA, 1.39 WHIP), which includes an 0-2 record and 5.68 ERA in three road starts (1.21 WHIP); setting the stage for a relatively high-scoring battle against the Brewers and Ashby, who’s 1-4 with a 7.14 ERA across his last seven outings (1.72 WHIP).

Score Prediction: Brewers 7, Rockies 5
Best Bet: Over 8.5 (-105)
