Rockies vs Cubs Prediction 

Chicago was able to get the dramatic win on Monday night in game one and they are starting to heat up, as they have won four of their last five. The Cubs are 21-15 at home this year, while the Rockies are 13-26 on the road. Colorado has dropped four of their last five and they have allowed at least five runs in all five losses. The Rockies are starting Feltner, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, while Cabrera has allowed 2, 8, 1, 3, and 5 earned runs in his last five outings. Feltner was roughed up by the Cubs in his last start and it feels like the Cubs are going on a run. Take Chicago -1.5 here.
