Brewers vs Rockies Prediction
I was going to fade the Rockies anyway, but this pitching matchup is about as much of a mismatch as you can get. Freeland has a 7.28 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 94 innings. Misiorowski is one of the best arms in baseball, and through 115 innings he has a 1.57 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. Misiorowski has allowed 7 earned runs in his last 44 innings. At home, Misiorowski has a 1.49 ERA and a .159 allowed batting average. It’s Cy Young-worthy stuff. The only play here is the Brewers, and I’d consider alternate lines to shave down the price.
