Colorado Rockies vs Milwaukee Brewers

Colorado Rockies at Milwaukee Brewers (2026-07-26). Kyle Freeland vs Jacob Misiorowski at American Family Field.

Starters — Freeland has a 7.28 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 94 innings, with 7.95 K/9, 1.91 BB/9, and 1.91 HR/9. His last three starts were 6 IP/4 ER/4 K/2 BB, 6 IP/4 ER/9 K/0 BB, and 5 IP/6 ER/2 K/0 BB. The strike-throwing is solid, but the contact damage and home run rate remain major concerns, and his recent trend is down. Misiorowski has been dominant with a 1.57 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over 115 innings, backed by 13.54 K/9, 2.19 BB/9, and 0.70 HR/9. His last three starts were 4 IP/0 ER/6 K/1 BB, 7 IP/3 ER/11 K/0 BB, and 5 IP/1 ER/10 K/0 BB. The swing-and-miss profile is elite, the WHIP is exceptional, and even with a listed down trend, the recent form still looks strong.

Teams — Colorado enters with a .743 OPS, 505 runs scored, a .254 average, and a pitching staff carrying a 5.49 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. The Rockies are 3-7 over their last 10 games, which fits the broader profile of an offense that can produce but is often undercut by weak run prevention. Milwaukee has a .735 OPS, 524 runs scored, and a .254 average, while its staff owns a 3.44 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. The Brewers are 6-4 in their last 10, and the key contrast is their much stronger pitching foundation despite similar batting average and comparable overall offensive output.
