Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The Rockies covered the spread in one of the two games this series, and are 12-24 ATS on the road.
The Brewers are only 19-21 ATS at home and 3-4 ATS in their last seven overall, but Colorado’s play on the road is so bad that it is easy to overlook those records.
Take the BREWERS -1.5 (+105).
Over/Under (O/U)
The first two games of the series went over the total but today’s projected number is higher than either.
The Rockies rank 30th in the league with a .197 batting average and scoring only 2.9 runs per game on the road.
The Brewers don’t fare much better at home, batting .210 while averaging 4.0 runs per game, despite 59.5% of the games there this season hitting the Over.
Take UNDER 9 (-115).
