Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. Imanaga’s been unusually poor as of late but Michael Lorenzen’s been bad at Coors all season long which makes me question why he even signed with the Rockies in the first place. Either way, I think the offenses come to play on both sides in this one so give me the over here.
