The Milwaukee Brewers will face off against the Colorado Rockies in a battle of National League Central and National League West foes, respectively, on Tuesday, September 6, 2023, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies will be hosting their first game of a three-game series, as both teams come into the contest with sub-.500 records. The Brewers are currently 75-67 overall this season while the Rockies come into the contest 63-79 overall in 2023.

Brewers have won four of their last six games

The Brewers have won four of their last six games but have struggled on the road this season. Milwaukee has a 33-40 record away from American Family Field in 2023 and have a 7-13 record in their last 20 games away from home. The Rockies, meanwhile, have struggled both at home and on the road this season. Colorado is 35-37 at Coors Field, with a 5-6 record in their last 11 games at home.

Rockies hitters will have an advantage

The Rockies will have an advantage in the hitting department, as they lead the major leagues with a .295 team batting average. Milwaukee has struggled to contain left-handed bats this season, and Colorado has four everyday left-handed hitters in their lineup. The Rockies are also second in the majors in on-base percentage and third in slugging percentage.

Pitching matchup in the game

The pitching matchup in this game could not be more contrasting. The Brewers will throw right-hander Brandon Woodruff, who has been one of the best pitchers in the National League since the start of the 2021 season. Woodruff has a 3.41 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 160.2 innings pitched this season while striking out 196 batters. The Rockies will counter with left-hander Kyle Freeland, who has struggled mightily this season. Freeland has a 5.05 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 110.1 innings pitched this season while striking out only 82 batters.

Trends

• The Brewers are 2-5 in their last seven games against the Rockies.
• The Rockies are 3-8 in their last 11 games at home.
• The over is 4-1 in the Brewers' last five games.

With Woodruff on the mound for the Brewers, I would lean towards the under in this game. Woodruff has been one of the best pitchers in the National League this season, and he has been especially tough against left-handed hitters. The Rockies have a lot of left-handed hitters in their lineup, so I expect Woodruff to have a good outing in this game.

I also like the Brewers on the run line in this game. Freeland has struggled mightily this season, and I don't think he will be able to keep up with Woodruff. The Brewers have a good offense, and I expect them to score some runs off of Freeland in this game.

My prediction: Brewers 6, Rockies 3
