The Milwaukee Brewers (70-63) travel to the Mile High City to face the Colorado Rockies (57-78) Monday in the 1st game of a 3-game set at Coors Field. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Brewers lead 3-1
Milwaukee just can’t find a rhythm. The Brewers are 5-5 in their last 10 games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs — all sub-.500 teams. They are just 13-17 over the last 30 games. OF Christian Yelich left Thursday’s game with a neck issue and didn’t play the rest of the weekend. The fact that he didn’t even pinch hit is an ominous sign for this one.
The Rockies return home after a long road trip, going 3-7 along the way. The last game of which saw them get spanked 10-0 in the nightcap of a doubleheader at the Cincinnati Reds Sunday. Everything changes when they return home, though. The Rockies are 36-32 at Coors Field.

Brewers at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 6, Rockies 5
Money line
There’s no telling what Milwaukee will get out of Houser today, and his history at Coors hasn’t been good. I still feel like Milwaukee finds a way to string together enough good at-bats to take out Colorado.
I’m not sold enough to go at the ML, but Milwaukee scored 18 runs in its final 3 games at Coors last year. Let’s go with BREWERS OVER 5.5 TOTAL RUNS (-130).
Run line/Against the spread
The Rockies covered in 3 of the 4 games against the Brewers in July. Colorado went 2-2 against Milwaukee at Coors last season, and both losses were by just 1 run. Take the ROCKIES +1.5 (-135).
Over/Under
Based on the pitching matchup, 12 runs is entirely possible. It’s just not something I’m dying to throw money at. There’s also a 9-mph breeze coming in from right-center, which should help keep the Under intact.
Last season’s totals between these teams at Coors Field were 13, 11,11 and 10. The Under is 4-0 in Feltner’s last 4 starts. The Under is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings between these teams in Colorado.
Take the UNDER 11.5 (-120).
