Colorado Rockies Fantasy Spin
Charlie Blackmon reached base safely four times — extending his hitting streak to 11 games in the process — and also stole a base in the Rockies’ loss to the Braves on Sunday. Blackmon got the Rockies on the board with an opposite-field, ground ball, plating Tony Wolters from second base in the third inning. He walked and swiped second base, his second steal of the season, in the first before capping off a monster three-hit performance with a double in the fifth and a leadoff single in the ninth. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder owns a .288/.341/.475 triple-slash line with 14 runs scored, three homers, 15 RBI and a pair of stolen bases across 129 plate appearances.
Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Spin
Christian Yelich (back) is unlikely to return to the Brewers’ starting lineup on Monday. Brewers’ manager Craig Counsell said after the game that Yelich’s back grabbed at him while he was running the bases on Sunday. Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like the injury is that severe and shouldn’t require a trip to the injured list. Consider him day-to-day.

Prediction:
The under has been profitable when these two teams have met, covering in five of the last seven meetings at Miller Park and in 16 of the last 21 meetings overall between the Brewers and Rockies. The under is also 24-7-1 in Davies’ last 32 starts and 8-2 in his last 10 home outings. Finally, the under is 45-18-4 in Freeland’s last 67 starts and is 4-1-1 in his last six road outings.
The Pick: Rockies/Brewers UNDER 8.5
