Rockies Continue to Disappoint

The Rockies are averaging 4.42 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.87 runs per game. The offense is ranked 19th while the pitching staff is ranked 30th. Getting the start for the Rockies will be Ty Blach who sits with a 3-2 record and an ERA of 5.32.

Cubs Going For Series Sweep

The Cubs will look for a series sweep here and in the first two games the pitching has been really good. The Cubs offense has scored 12 runs, but even more impressive has been the pitching. The Cubs are averaging 5.08 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.48 runs per game. The Cubs offense hasn’t been given enough credit for how good they have been this season. Getting the start for the Cubs will be Jordan Wicks who sits with a 3-1 record and an ERA of 2.67.

Shane’s Free Pick

The Rockies are going to have major issues getting the offense going again here. Wicks sits with an ERA of 2.67 and he’s going to lockdown here. The Rockies have scored only three total runs in this series and they are going to finish with less than that here. This is going to be a very easy victory for the Cubs. Back the Cubs -1.5 to cash here.
