The Milwaukee Brewers (6-5, 1-3 Away) were destroyed by the New York Yankees in the opening series of the season and started with four consecutive defeats, but they bounced back with six wins in the next seven games. The Brewers won the series against the Royals and Reds and opened this series in Colorado with a 7-1 victory.

The Colorado Rockies (2-8, 1-3 Home) ended a six-game losing streak with a comfortable 12-5 win over the Athletics at home to avoid a three-game series sweep. However, after the best offensive display of the season, the Rockies returned to losing ways in a 7-1 defeat to the Brewers. Brenton Doyle hit a solo homer, while Kyle Freeland took a loss after allowing five runs on eight hits with five strikeouts over 6.1 innings of work.

This year, the Rockies average 3.33 runs per game (25th in the MLB) on a .240/.303/.364 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 4.27 ERA (16th) and 1.56 WHIP (30th). Brenton Doyle leads the Rockies with a .273 batting average, two home runs, and six RBI this season.

Rockies vs Brewers Prediction

The teams have traded victories in the past few years, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H duels. I was disappointed with the Rockies’ performance on Tuesday, and I am sure they will respond today. The Rockies have a .270 BA against southpaws this year, and Alexander is a reliever who will likely not last long. I am backing the hosts to cause him trouble in the opening few innings. Alexander allowed a .421 BA with four runs and six RBI in 19 at-bats against Colorado in his career. Last year, he posted an 8.31 ERA in 4.1 innings against the Rox. He will struggle here. I am backing the Rockies to cover a +1.5 run line.
