Rockies vs. Brewers Prediction
I’m on the over here. I just don’t trust either starting pitcher here as Frankie Montas is still a head-scratching acquisition for me from the Brewers' perspective, while Colorado sending out Ryan Feltner this late in the year makes little sense for me either in this one. I think this one is going to end up being a high-scoring battle so give me the over in this game.
