Where the Brewers have struggled the most this season is with their starting rotation. Save for Yovani Gallardo, every starting pitcher on the roster has at least a 4.50 ERA with a couple of starters dangerously close to the 6.00 mark. David Bush and Randy Wolf, two veterans of Major League Baseball, are really struggling in a season where their veteran leadership has really been needed. With youngsters taking the hill like Christopher Narveson and Marco Estrada, the Brewers just have not had the arms that you traditionally need to make the Playoffs. At the plate, Corey Hart and Ryan Braun continue to be two of the best hitters in the National League. Unfortunately, they are on a poor team who just does not have the talent to compete with the Colorado Rockies, which is why the Rockies are the free wager pick on Friday night.

Speaking of starting pitching, the Rockies haven't had much help beyond Ubaldo Jimenez, as guys like Jason Hammel and Aaron Cook have struggled to pitch even moderately well. The big reason that Colorado is kind of in limbo right now as far as their Playoff hopes are concerned is due to a lack of complimentary pitchers to Jimenez. Hammel is 7-6 with a 4.32 ERA while Cook is 4-8 with a 5.31 ERA. Neither of these ERAs is going to do much in the way of winning baseball, so it is important that players like Matt Belisle and Joe Beimel do a good job of relieving the starters on a nightly basis. The relievers are probably being called into games much too early, but to their credit, they have really helped Colorado to some very important wins. This game provides another great opportunity to get one of those important victories, as the Colorado Rockies are the free bet choice in their game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

If you are searching for your best bet on this game, look to the Colorado Rockies for your best chance at recognizing a cash payout. The Brewers just have too many question marks that have taken the whole season to answer, which has not been a successful formula up to this point. The Rockies, while definitely not the best team in Major League Baseball, is a stronger club than Milwaukee is. For this reason, the free wager is going to be bet on the Colorado Rockies.
