<h2>
Wednesday's Starting Arms<br />
</h2>
<p>
Anderson is 0/2 on quality starts this season, to go along with five appearances in relief, but he's actually been pretty good. Last Friday he gave up two runs and five hits through 4 2/3 innings of a 10-2 Brewers win over the Mets. And six days before that he held the Dodgers scoreless on one hit through five innings of a 5-0 Milwaukee victory.
</p>
<p>
So the Brewers are 2-0 with Anderson starting this season.
</p>
<p>
This will be Anderson's first start against Colorado since 2017 when in two outings he allowed just two runs and five hits through 11 innings. Milwaukee split those two games.
</p>
<p>
Senzatela is 1/3 on quality starts this season. Last Friday he gave up three runs and seven hits through 5 2/3 innings of an 8-4 Rockies victory over Atlanta, and over his three starts, he's allowed eight runs and 20 hits through 18 1/3 innings.
</p>
<p>
Colorado is 2-1 with Senzatela this season.
</p>
<p>
Over two career starts against the Brewers, one in 2017 and one in last year's playoffs, Senzatela allowed just two runs and five hits through 10 innings. The Rockies split those two games.
</p>
<h2>
Wednesday's Batting Splits<br />
</h2>
<p>
Colorado is batting .234/.295/.405 against right-handed pitching this season.
</p>
<p>
Milwaukee is batting .242/.321/.446 against RH pitching this season. However, this lineup may be without its biggest stick in Christian Yelich, who's missed the last two games with a sore back.
</p>
<h2>
The Bullpens<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Rockies bullpen owns a 3.45 ERA this season, along with a 1.30 WHIP and a 91/46 K/BB ratio.
</p>
<p>
The Brewers bullpen owns a 4.63 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP and a 130/59 K/BB ratio.
