Betting Trends
The Rockies are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games overall, 3-10 SU in their last 13 home games and 5-0 SU in their last 5 home games against Milwaukee. Colorado has played under the total run line in 4 of their last 6 games overall and 13 of the last 18 games played in July while they have gone over in 4 of their last 5 games against Miluwakee and 5 of their last 7 games against teams from the NL. The Brewers are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games overall. 2-6 SU in the last 8 games against the Rockies and 2-7 SU in their last 9 games against teams from the NL West.
Prediction and Conclusion
These two teams have a completely different season, with the Brewers leading the NL Central while the Rockies are at the bottom of the NL West. The Rockies had to play 14 innings last night against another poor team, the White Sox, to finally end their losing streak. They will try to add another one tonight with Austin Gomber on the mound, who is 1-5 for the season with a 4.63 ERA, 56 K, 81.2 IP, and 1.31 WHIP. The Brewers will start Bryse Wilson, who is 5-3 for the season with a 3.89 ERA, 59 K, 74 IP, and 1.34 WHIP. The Rockies swept the Brewers the last time they were in Colorado, and now it is time for Milwaukee to show who the better team is.
