Brewers vs. Rockies Offense Outlook

William Contreras has been a big surprise for the Brewers this season, as he is batting .291 with nine home runs, which is 3rd on the team. He has also driven in 50 runs, which is 2nd on the team and 13th in the league. Willy Adames and Rhys Hoskins are the top two power threats in the Brewers lineup, but both are hitting just .229 this season.

As a team, the Brewers are 7th in the league in scoring at 4.8 runs per game. They have been even better at home, averaging 5.2 runs per contest. Milwaukee comes into the game with the league’s top batting average on balls in play and are 3rd in both walks and on-base percentage.

So far this season, the Rockies offense has been a bit below average, averaging 4.2 runs per game (18th). They have been a better offense at home, averaging 4.8 runs per game, which is 8th in the league. As a team, they are batting .243, which is 12th in the league, and have the 2nd-best BABIP in the league. One area they will need to improve is their strikeout numbers, as they are currently 27th in the league in strikeouts.

Over his last nine games, Ezequiel Tovar has gone 11/35 (.314) with one home run. For the season, he is batting .284 with 12 homers. Ryan McMahon is the team’s top power threat, as he is 12th in the league with 14 homers and is batting .270. McMahon also leads the team with 42 RBIs. Michael Toglia has struggled of late, going just 6/33 in his last nine games.

Free Brewers vs. Rockies MLB Pick

Even though the Brewers just took two of three from the Cubs and have a sizable lead in the NL Central, there are some holes in this team. Their offense has benefited from a few big innings, but they are also prone to significant scoring droughts. The Brewers have also been employing the strategy of having an opener for Bryse Wilson, and he has at times pitched well for them, but I see the Rockies getting to the Brewers tonight. I like Colorado to pull off the upset and take game one of this series. My pick is Colorado on the money line.
