The Cubs are 17-10 at home this year, while the Rockies are just 3-24 on the road. Colorado is the worst team in the MLB, and they are starting Gordon, who has allowed six earned runs and 14 hits over 12.1 innings. Chicago is going with Boyd, who has allowed seven earned runs and 12 hits in his last 10.0 innings. Both of these pitchers have struggled in their last two outings, but obviously, Chicago is the much better lineup, and they are due for a big game. Take the Cubs -2.5 here.
