Rockies vs Cubs Prediction

The Rockies continue to pile up the losses and prove they’re one of the worst teams in baseball history. Brown doesn’t make things any better, as he’s allowed five hits and four runs in his last 3.2 innings. I’d like a larger sample size with Assad, as he’s pitched just 14 innings, but he’s been decent, which includes two earned runs allowed in his last 10 innings. You’re making a killing if you just blindly fade the Rockies. The Cubs need to take advantage of spots like this to lock up a wild card spot. Give me the Cubs and the RL for max betting value.
