Milwaukee vs Colorado Prediction: the Brewers to Beat the Rockies on Their Field As Usual

Milwaukee, the leader of the National League's Central Division, kicks off their home series against Colorado after the All-Star break. Here are a few bets on the first game of this confrontation. 

Craig Counsell's team had the last games in San Francisco before the championship break and gave up 3 of 4 matches to the local Giants - 3-2, 5-8, 1-2, 5-9. An extremely unsuccessful series, which again called into question Milwaukee's lead in the division. The Brewers are now just one win ahead of their main and only rival.

Milwaukee's starting pitcher for the first game of the series against Colorado is Corbin Burnes, 7-4 and with a 2.14 ERA in 18 games this season.

Before the pause, the Rockies played two home series at home in Denver and, as usual, won. First, Bud Black's team handled San Diego - 5-6, 5-3, 10-6, 8-5. Then they outscored Pittsburgh, 13-2, 2-0, 3-8. Colorado's thin air again worked to the Rockies' advantage.

Antonio Senzantella, 3-5 and a 4.95 ERA in 13 starts this season, is Colorado's starting pitcher for the first game of the road trip to Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, having lost their last series in San Francisco, will surely take the game against Colorado as responsibly as possible. It's not that hard to beat the Rockies in the away match. That was proven last season, when the Brewers took all the home games from Colorado. Prediction: a win for Milwaukee.
