Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m not thrilled to get behind Rea and his 4.59 ERA and 1.35 WHIP, especially now that he’s pitching in Coors. However, backing the Rockies isn’t an option in their current form. This is a bad team that’s not even taking advantage of the home field. This is an ideal series for the Cubs to start stringing some wins together and get back in the wild card race. The price isn’t anything crazy. Give me the Cubs to get a win on Tuesday night.
