Rockies vs Brewers Prediction
Colorado was able to snap their losing streak with a win over the Athletics on Sunday afternoon, but they are just 2-7 through nine games. The Rockies’ pitching staff hasn’t been horrible, but the offense has been way too inconsistent, and they have scored two runs or fewer in five of their nine games so far. Milwaukee has won four of their last five games, and they are going with Freddy Peralta, who was fantastic in his last outing against the Royals. I know Freeland has also started the season strong, but I don’t trust the Colorado offense. Take the Brewers here.
