The Colorado Rockies (43-50) open up the 2nd half against the Milwaukee Brewers (50-43) Friday in the 1st of a 4-game set at American Family Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Brewers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: First meeting of 2022. Brewers went 5-2 against the Rockies last year.
When you look at these two teams’ last 10 games, you might think you’re becoming dyslexic. Colorado is 7-3, and Milwaukee' is 3-7. The Rockies struggle away from home though, as they’re just 15-27 away from Coors. Colorado is also likely to start flipping assets before the trade deadline like All-Star 1B C.J. Cron.
Milwaukee has great starting pitching, but its bullpen has been susceptible of late. Closer Josh Hader is going through the worst stretch of his career as he allowed 9 ER in his last 2 appearances and 12 ER in 5 1/3 innings for a 20.26 ERA in July. The Brew Crew is 12th with 4.57 runs per game, which isn’t enough to mask some of its deficiencies.
