Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers Prediction 

The Brewers were able to erase a late deficit on Tuesday night to get the win in game two of this series, but they are just 24-22 on the road this season. Milwaukee is leading the NL Central by a good margin over the Cardinals, but their strength is definitely not on the road. Colorado has been awful for the good majority of the season, but they are 17-25 at home and they have played well in their last three games. Hudson started the season pitching decently well for the Rockies, but he has been roughed up in recent outings. I know the Brewers are a different team on the road, but I can’t back Hudson here. My Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers prediction is for the Brewers to win by at least two runs.
