Starting Pitchers for Colorado and Milwaukee

The right-hander has allowed 65 hits and 14 home runs while recording 50 strikeouts against 28 walks. Milwaukee is expected to counter with Robert Gasser, who carries a 2-4 record, 4.91 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 51.1 innings. The left-hander has surrendered 48 hits and 11 home runs while collecting 48 strikeouts against 14 walks.
Colorado Tries to Generate Enough Offense on the Road
Colorado enters Saturday with a 41-63 overall record and a difficult 17-34 mark away from home. The Rockies most recently suffered an 8-0 loss to Washington after defeating the same opponent 8-7. They dropped the previous meeting with Washington 7-3 and split two games against Cincinnati, losing 9-6 before recording a 10-3 victory. Colorado has gone 2-3 across its last five games, producing at least six runs in each of its two wins.
The Rockies are batting .255 with 899 hits, 495 runs and 118 home runs. Their offense has generated a .325 on-base percentage and a .420 slugging percentage. Colorado’s pitching staff carries a 5.50 ERA and 1.52 WHIP while allowing opposing hitters to bat .288. The staff has accumulated 735 strikeouts and issued 340 walks. Colorado has also recorded a 12-22 mark in day games.
Colorado’s primary opportunity comes from its offensive advantages. The Rockies enter with the better batting average, more hits, more home runs and a higher slugging percentage than Milwaukee. Colorado has hit 24 more home runs and holds a 23-point advantage in slugging percentage. However, those numbers have not translated into a superior scoring total, as the Rockies have scored 19 fewer runs. Their greater concern is pitching, particularly against a Milwaukee team that has won four of its last five games.
Milwaukee Leans on Pitching and Its Impressive Home Record
Milwaukee comes into the matchup with a 64-38 overall record and an excellent 34-19 mark at American Family Field. The Brewers most recently defeated the New York Mets 4-3 after suffering a 4-0 loss in the previous meeting. They also earned an 8-3 victory over the Mets and recorded consecutive wins over Miami by scores of 3-1 and 8-6. Milwaukee has won four of its last five games, scoring at least four runs in three of those victories.
The Brewers are batting .252 with 874 hits, 514 runs and 94 home runs. Their lineup owns a .336 on-base percentage and a .397 slugging percentage. Milwaukee’s pitching staff has compiled a 3.44 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while holding opponents to a .220 batting average. The staff has registered 997 strikeouts against 322 walks. The Brewers have also produced a 24-15 record in day games.
Milwaukee’s clearest advantage is run prevention. The Brewers hold a 2.06-run advantage in team ERA and have the lower WHIP by a substantial margin. Their pitching staff has also limited opponents to a .220 batting average compared with Colorado’s .288 mark. Milwaukee has recorded 262 more strikeouts while issuing 18 fewer walks. Although the Rockies possess advantages in several offensive categories, the Brewers have scored more runs and own a much stronger combination of pitching, overall record and home performance.
Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers Picks and Prediction
Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers Pick
- Pick: Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline
Milwaukee is the preferred side because it owns the stronger overall record, superior home performance and more favorable matchup-predictor percentage. The Brewers enter at 64-38 overall and 34-19 at home, while Colorado is 41-63 overall and 17-34 on the road.

Milwaukee also possesses significantly better team pitching numbers, including a 3.44 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and .220 opponent batting average. Colorado’s offense can present a challenge, but the Rockies’ road record and 5.50 team ERA make Milwaukee the stronger selection.
Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers Total Pick
- Pick: Over 8.5
Take the over if the total is set at 8.5. Colorado enters with a 5.50 team ERA and 1.52 WHIP, while its scheduled starter carries a 5.48 ERA and has allowed 14 home runs through 65.2 innings. Four of the Rockies’ last five games have finished with at least 10 combined runs, including totals of 15, 10, 15 and 13.
Milwaukee owns considerably stronger season-long pitching numbers, but its scheduled starter has a 4.91 ERA and has surrendered 11 home runs in 51.1 innings. Three of the Brewers’ last five contests have reached at least seven combined runs, including totals of 11 and 14. Colorado has scored six or more runs in three of its last five games, but it has also allowed at least seven runs in four of those contests. Those recent Colorado results and the numbers carried by both scheduled starters support a combined score above 8.5.
