Colorado Rockies @ Milwaukee Brewers - June 27, 2025

As I gear up for the matchup between the Colorado Rockies and Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field, it’s hard not to notice the stark contrast in both teams’ current form and statistical performance. The Rockies enter this game on a three-game losing streak, struggling with a dismal record of 18-63. In their last outing against the Dodgers, they managed only one run while allowing three, pushing their total score under again—this marks four of their last five games going under.

On the mound for Colorado is Kyle Freeland, who has had a rough season thus far with a win-loss record of 1-8 and an ERA hovering around 5.1. His strikeout rate isn’t terrible at about 6.7 per game, but that hasn’t translated into effective outings as he’s been hit hard consistently throughout the year. With such numbers, it’s clear why bettors are wary; Colorado is just 1-6 straight up in their last seven games.

In stark contrast stands Jose Quintana of the Brewers, who brings a much more favorable record of 5-2 and an impressive ERA of approximately 3.9. Quintana’s ability to rack up strikeouts (around 8.4 per game) adds another layer to his effectiveness on the mound. The Brewers recently secured a solid victory against the Pirates with a scoreline of 4-2—rewarding moneyline bettors who took them at -110.

When we dive deeper into team batting statistics, Milwaukee clearly holds an edge over Colorado. The Brewers average about 4.7 runs per game with an impressive .688 on-base slugging percentage; they also boast around eight hits and over four RBIs per game—a testament to their offensive prowess lately as evidenced by their recent trend where five out of their last seven games have gone over the total.

Conversely, Colorado struggles significantly at bat with only about 3.6 runs per game and a batting average sitting at .223—far from competitive standards in Major League Baseball today. Their inability to convert opportunities into runs is reflected in their meager RBIs (about 3.5) and lower slugging percentage (around .656).

Given these factors leading into Friday night’s clash, I anticipate that Milwaukee will emerge victorious against Colorado once again as they look to extend their winning ways while snapping out any lingering doubts about consistency after recent performances.

Expect this matchup to see plenty of scoring opportunities for Milwaukee while Freeland may find himself battling through yet another tough outing on the mound for Colorado which could lead us toward an outcome that exceeds expectations on totals betting as well—with my prediction leaning towards an OVER result given both teams’ recent trends.

In summary: expect Milwaukee to take control early and maintain pressure throughout this contest against a struggling Rockies squad still searching for answers amidst ongoing challenges both offensively and defensively.
