Rockies vs Cubs Prediction 

Chicago was able to get the win in game one of this series on Monday afternoon, but their high-scoring offense was held in check. The Cubs are 16-10 at home this season, while the Rockies are 3-23 on the road. Colorado battled hard on Monday afternoon, but their low-scoring offense couldn’t get much going. The Rockies are starting Marquez, who has some ugly numbers on the season, but has pitched well in two of his last three starts. The Cubs are starting Horton, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all three of his appearances. I don’t trust Marquez on the mound for Colorado at all, and we have seen Horton be shaky at times in limited work. Take the over here.
