Milwaukee Brewers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction 

Milwaukee was able to get the win on Saturday in game two of this series, but they haven’t played their best over the last week. The Brewers are 42-28 at home this season, while the Rockies are just 21-53 on the road. Colorado has been a disaster on the road this year, but they are starting Kyle Freeland, who has been very good in his last three starts. Peralta has also been solid in recent outings, but with how well Freeland is currently pitching, I think the Rockies have a ton of value. Take Colorado here.
