Rockies vs. Brewers Prediction and Odds for Monday, July 25 (Colorado Will Avoid Series Sweep)
My underdog bet on the Rockies was looking good yesterday, but it slipped from my fingers in the bottom of the 8th as the Brewers went on to win by a final score of 10-9.
The two teams wrap up their four-game series in Milwaukee tonight, as Colorado looks to avoid the series sweep.
Kyle Freeland (4.96 ERA) gets the start for the Rockies, and he'll face-off against fellow lefty, Aaron Ashby (4.57 ERA).

Rockies vs. Brewers Prediction and Pick
Call me stubborn, but I'm once again riding with the Rockies as underdogs.
My analysis of their offense was spot on yesterday. They can hit lefties, even when they're away from Coors Field. What I didn't expect was their pitching to give up 10 runs. Usually, you'd feel pretty good about winning your bet if the team you wager on puts up nine. That clearly wasn't the case last night.
Tonight, the Rockies will putting their .288 batting average vs. lefties up against a much worse left-handed pitcher than they faced last night. Ashby has allowed at least four runs in four of his last seven starts, and I'm hoping for a similar result tonight.
Give me the underdog Rockies to pull off the upset and avoid the series sweep tonight.
Pick: Rockies +171
