Brewers at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Brewers 6, Rockies 3
Moneyline
The Rockies are 3-13 when Hudson pitches and have lost his last 5 outings.
The Brewers (-160) are 10-4 in Rea’s starts this season and 4-1 in his last 5. They are 38-15 against teams that are .500 or worse, while the Rockies are 17-25 against winning teams.
The Rockies are 20-35 after a loss this season. Colorado’s last 6 wins have either been after a victory or coming off 2-plus losses.
The Brewers should take the series lead, but the moneyline doesn’t give you the value the spread does.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
The first 2 games of the series have been 1-run games, and the Rockies have covered the spread in 3 straight. However, this is their longest run-line win streak since covering 4 straight games May 21-24.
The Brewers are 46-40 ATS overall this season. Before failing to cover the spread in Tuesday’s win, they had covered in 8 consecutive straight-up victories.
