Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. I haven’t been able to trust either side in this one, but I think this pitching matchup is questionable. Colin Rea at Coors isn’t going to be a fun time for Cubs fans and Sugano has some of the worst expected numbers in all of baseball. I’m backing the over in this one.
