Prediction: Colorado Rockies VS Milwaukee Brewers 2025-06-27
Witty & Sarcastic Analysis: Rockies vs. Brewers (2025-06-28)
The Colorado Rockies: 18-63, 63 losses, and a baserunning IQ that’s lower than a goldfish’s. The Milwaukee Brewers: 59-26, a .698 winning percentage, and a pitching staff that could probably start a cult. Let’s dive into this dumpster fire of a matchup.
Key Stats & Context
- Rockies:
- 18-63 record (worst in MLB).
- 63 losses already this season (they’ve played 81 games).
- Recent losses include a rain-soaked 8-1 drubbing where two easy outs turned into two runs.
- Baseline: They’ve been swept by the Dodgers twice this season.
- Brewers:
- 59-26 record (2nd in NL Central).
- 28-13 against the Rockies this season (a personal vendetta?).
- Pitching: Corbin Burnes (13-3, 2.85 ERA) is their ace, but even he’d be annoyed by the Rockies’ defense.

- Rockies: +266 (implied probability: ~37.6%).
- Brewers: -150 (implied probability: ~60%).
- Spread:

Underdog Win Rate & EV Calculation
- MLB underdog win rate: 41%.
- Rockies’ implied probability: 37.6%.

- Brewers’ implied probability: 60%.
- Expected win rate for favorites: 59% (100% - 41%).
- EV for Brewers: 59% - 60% = -1% edge.
Injuries & Key Updates

- Brewers: Full strength, with Christian Yelich (19 HRs, .298 BA) leading the charge.
Best Bet: Rockies +266
Why?
- The Rockies are a mathematical anomaly in underdog territory. Their 41% underdog win rate vs. their 37.6% implied probability gives them a 3.4% edge.
- The Brewers’ 60% implied probability is overpriced given their 59% expected win rate as favorites.
- Rockies’ recent struggles? Sure. But baseball’s a game of unlikely miracles (e.g., the 2023 Rockies went 48-107 and still had a 41% underdog win rate).
Sarcastic Take:
“The Rockies are like a broken slot machine—everyone bets against them, but eventually, the jackpot hits. Tonight, it’s probably the Brewers’ jackpot. But hey, math says Rockies. Go figure.”
Final Verdict
- Best Bet: Colorado Rockies +266 (positive EV, 3.4% edge).
- Second Choice: Over 8.5 Runs (both teams are hitting like they’re in a batting cage).
- Avoid: Brewers -1.5 (-200). Their implied probability is overpriced by 1%.
Remember: The Rockies are 18-63, but they’ve also won 41% of their underdog games. Baseball’s a cruel mistress, but she loves a good upset. 🎲⚾
