Flight Crew Took Evasive Action
Human Factors; Procedure
Pushed off our gate and received clearance to taxi west; ahead of a line of regional jets. We were told by ramp tower to be aware of a B737 that was angling to southwest towards [a] taxiway heading west. We were NOT told anything about the company 737 that was crossing immediately behind us! I powered up and spun the aircraft around and was stunned to see our [company] aircraft so close! I got on the brakes killing the built up momentum; requiring a higher power setting; pointed in the direction of our push crew; the very event I had tried to mitigate. The B737 [we were advised of] was 1;000 feet away; definitely NO FACTOR! Our [company] B737 was inside of 100 feet away and no mention!? The ramp tower in Denver is going to get someone hurt. Not my first [safety report regarding] the procedures there.
A319 Captain reported a ground conflict with a company B737 on the ramp at DEN.
