Cubs vs Rockies Prediction

The Cubs are 9-2 in their last 11 head-to-head meetings against the Rockies, and both teams are tied 2-2 wins in their last 4 meetings in Colorado. Under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 meetings.

In this Cubs vs Rockies Prediction, the Cubs are coming as -200 road favorites. Assad takes the mound for the Cubs, and he is coming into this matchup in excellent form, with back-to-back games with just one earned run. On the flip side, the inexperienced McCade Brown takes the mound for the Rockies and he managed to give 4 runs in just 3.2 innings pitched to a terrible Pirates offense. The Rockies have one of the worst bullpen in the league, while the Cubs have one of the best offenses, so I like the Cubs to get away with another comfortable win and to cover the runline.
