MLB Betting Trends
Colorado
The under is 25-10 in the last 35 Rockies games on Saturdays. The under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 Colorado games overall.
Milwaukee
The Brewers are 2-6 in their last eight Saturday games. Milwaukee is 10-4 in its last 14 home games.
Prediction:
Anderson has been solid for Colorado this season, especially considering his home park is Coors Field. Peralta started off his MLB career in fantastic fashion and made his debut with a stellar start at the Rockies, but he’s struggled to find the plate and hitters are starting to figure him out. While Peralta has a bright future, now is a good time to bet against him as a favorite. Go with Colorado to bounce back with a win here.
