The Colorado Rockies head to Chicago to battle the Cubs in the first of a three-game NL series Monday night from Wrigley Field.
Colorado Rockies
Colorado has played great as of late, winning 5 of their last 6 games including a sweep over the San Diego Padres.
The Rockies sit at 57-67, which is 23 games back for the division lead so their hopes hang on the final wild card spot which they’re 10.5 games behind.
Watch for CJ Cron, one of the hottest players in all of baseball, accumulating a remarkable 28 RBI’s accompanied by a 1.3 OPS in August. The veteran first baseman is up to 21 homers, 71 RBI’s, and a terrific .889 OPS.
The Rockies stand 15th in the big leagues with 4.55 runs on the season. The pitching staff enters with a 4.70 team ERA, landing them 23rd overall.
Chicago Cubs
There really is not much to be said about the Cubs at this point, as they essentially sold everyone at the trade deadline in order to invest in the future which was probably a smart move long term, but they have a brutal roster as it stands right now.
The Cubs’ terrible slump at the plate continues. They have now lost a whopping 15 out of their last 17 games overall. They were able to win 2 of 3 against a good Reds team before they were swept by the Royals on the weekend.
Rafael Ortega continues to shine at the plate, registering a .328 average on the month. The 30-year old has been one of the few bright spots these days for a struggling team.
MLB Baseball Betting Trends:
- Rockies are 57-67 overall

Free Colorado Rockies vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Prediction:
The Rockies are playing their best baseball of the season right now. They feasted on the Cubs pitching earlier this month, accumulating 21 runs in their 3 meetings.
Kyle Hendricks has tallied a poor 5.17 ERA at Wrigley Field this season. It’s been a disastrous string of games for the Cubs as they have now lost 15 out of their last 17 games overall.
Take Colorado on the road.
