Brewers at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 8, Rockies 4
Money line
Milwaukee should be able to take care of business on the road against a hapless Colorado team. That being said, I’ll PASS on taking the money line for the Brewers due to the odds being -200.
Run line/Against the spread
BREWERS -1.5 (-130) is an enticing wager. If you aren’t comfortable taking Milwaukee to win by at least 2 runs, BREWERS -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-145) is also worth consideration.
Over/Under
OVER 10.5 RUNS (-135) seems like the logical choice in Tuesday’s matchup. Even though Woodruff should have success limiting the lineup of the Rockies, the bullpen of the Brewers could surrender a few runs later in the game.
Three of the 5 meetings between these teams this season have had 11 or more runs scored. With the game taking place at Coors Field, and Kuhl taking the mound for Colorado, Milwaukee could come close to hitting the Over itself.
