In this article, we will formulate a Brewers vs Rockies prediction for this MLB game on Tuesday, April 8, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers Betting Preview
The Milwaukee Brewers (5-5, 0-3 Away) were dismantled by the New York Yankees in the opening series of the season and started with four consecutive defeats, but they responded with five wins in the next six games. The Brewers won the series against the Royals and Reds and now are favorites to win this series in Colorado. In the latest 8-2 win over Cincy, Jackson Chourio impressed with two homers and five RBI, while Chad Patrick got a win after allowing one run on two hits with four strikeouts and three walks in 5.1 innings.
This season, the Brewers average 4.20 runs per game (13th in the MLB) on a .231/.303/.356 slash line. Regarding pitching, the Brewers’ staff has a 5.97 ERA (29th) and 1.33 WHIP (19th). Jackson Chourio leads the Brewers with a .295 batting average, three home runs, and nine RBI this season.
The projected starting pitcher for the Brewers is Freddy Peralta, who has a 0-1 record in two starts this year with a 2.08 ERA and 0.54 WHIP in 13.0 innings.
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Colorado Rockies (2-7, 1-2 Home) snapped a six-game losing skid with a convincing 12-5 victory over the Athletics at home to avoid a three-game series sweep. That was Colorado's best offensive outing of the season, and now the Rockies hope for more of the same against the Brewers at Coors Field. Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar combined for seven RBI, while Chase Dollander got a win on his MLB debut after allowing four runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and one walk over 5.0 innings of work.
This year, the Rockies average 3.33 runs per game (25th in the MLB) on a .240/.303/.364 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 4.27 ERA (16th) and 1.56 WHIP (30th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .229 batting average, two home runs, and five RBI this season.
Kyle Freeland will take the mound for the Brewers on Tuesday. The 31-year-old southpaw has a 1-0 record in two starts this year with a 2.13 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over 12.2 innings of work.

Brewers vs Rockies Prediction
The teams have traded victories over the past few years, as each recorded five in the last ten H2H duels. I am being impressed with the way both Peralta and Freeland opened the season, and it's a shame neither of them got a victory thus far. Peralta allowed a .187 BA in 75 at-bats against Colorado, while Freeland allowed a .222 BA in 45 at-bats against Milwaukee. The Rockies have hit the Game Total Under in 23 of their last 40 games at home. Betting on Under at Coors Field is a rather tricky thing to do, but with these starters on the mound, I am sure it will hit. Back Under.
