Rockies vs Cubs Prediction

The Cubs won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last three. I am going with Over in this one after the opening two games failed to produce more than seven runs. Tanner Gordon allowed six earned runs in his two starts this season, and I am sure the Cubs are going to score 3+ against him in the first five or six innings. After all, the Cubs have the best offense in the MLB, and the Rockies have the worst defense. Matthew Boyd, on the other hand, allowed multiple runs in each of his previous eight starts, and I don’t think that will change on Wednesday. Back the Over.
