Neither the Colorado Rockies nor the Milwaukee Brewers have had much success against southpaws lately. In fact, both carry a sub-100 wRC+ off of left-handed pitching since August 7th.

The two teams will start lefties in Kyle Freeland for Colorado and Eric Lauer for Milwaukee on Wednesday. Lauer is the better of the two pitchers but not by much. He has a 4.18 xFIP on the season against Freeland's 4.58 xFIP. Freeland allows harder contact on average (89.8 MPH), but Lauer ranks in the bottom-40% of the MLB, as well (88.9 MPH).

The difference here is the two lineups are comparable, even if the Brewers have an edge out of the bullpen. This happens when comparing most teams to the Rockies. Colorado actually does have a better lineup in the last month with a 95 wRC+ against the Brewers' 86 wRC+.

This line should be more even, so back the Rockies at home as neither pitcher is particularly strong.
