Brewers vs Rockies

The Brew Crew looks to crush the Rockies’ hopes again

Milwaukee Brewers

Brewers (5-5) VS Rockies (2-7)

April 08, 2025 | 8:40 PM ET | Coors Field, Denver, CO

Colorado Rockies
Moneyline Pick: Milwaukee Brewers (-160) - Grade: B

Freddy Peralta takes the mound for Milwaukee, and that's a welcome sight for the Brew Crew loyalists hoping to snap a two-game skid. He’ll face a Rockies lineup that's scuffling mightily, dropping five of their last six, and struggling to generate offense with Kris Bryant on the injured list (left oblique strain). The Rockies, batting just .221 as a club, are unlikely to capitalize on Coors Field's hitter-friendly conditions against a strikeout artist like Peralta, who’s historically dominated Colorado – holding current members of the team to a collective .198 average. On the flip side, the Rockies will trot out young right-hander Ryan Feltner, who’s been lit up early this season and has fared poorly in limited action against the Brewers, particularly struggling against Christian Yelich and Willy Adames. While Milwaukee's own inconsistencies, especially in the bullpen, make covering the -1.5 run line no sure thing, the matchup advantages on the mound and at the plate give them the edge. This pick gets a B- for value but caution is advised, given baseball’s volatility at altitude. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 9.5, (-110) - Grade B

Riding a two-game win streak, the Brewers are looking to keep the momentum going against a Colorado squad that’s struggling. With Freddy Peralta taking the mound, the Brewers have a definite advantage on the pitching front. Peralta has been a strikeout machine and historically does well against Colorado, limiting their offense significantly. The Rockies’ offensive struggles are amplified by the absence of Kris Bryant (left oblique strain), and their team batting average of .221 makes them vulnerable, especially in the high-altitude environment of Coors Field. Ryan Feltner, who has struggled early this season, will take the mound for the Rockies and has been inconsistent, particularly against a Brewers lineup featuring Christian Yelich, Willy Adames, and Rowdy Tellez. While the Brewers' bullpen has its own issues, their pitching edge, combined with the Rockies' lack of offense and bullpen depth, gives Milwaukee a solid chance to cover the -1.5 run line. Given the matchup, this bet offers good value, though the volatility of Coors Field makes it a cautious pick. Grade: B. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Spread Pick: Brewers, -1.5 (+100) - Grade: B-

Corbin Burnes takes the mound for Milwaukee, and that's a welcome sight for the Brew Crew loyalists hoping to snap a two-game skid.
