Free Brewers vs. Rockies MLB Pick

The Brewers have had success in the past with reclamation projects for starting pitchers, and they are putting that to the test right away, as they traded for Quinn Priester earlier this week. However, it’s a tough task to throw him into Coors Field. Milwaukee has been the hot offense in this series so far, but I see the Rockies breaking lose this afternoon. I have the Rockies on the money line.
