Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
The Cubs should be favored with Cabrera on the mound, but he’s allowed 31 hits and 20 earned runs in his last 22.1 innings. While talented, Cabrera has struggled, and Coors isn’t a place where pitchers get a chance to find their footing. Feltner has just 12 innings under his belt since May, so who knows what he’s going to look like given limited recent reps. Two shaky at best pitchers and a hitter’s park. I side with the over in this spot.
