Colorado Rockies
Jon Gray didn’t have the greatest April but there are some positives to take away, like a career-high K/BB rate. He has done a nice job limiting his walks, while striking out more than a batter an inning.
But he’s giving up more hits than usual, which is probably just fluctuation. He’s given up 39 hits in fewer than 33 innings and more of them are leaving the yard (4) after he gave up just 10 dingers in 110 innings last season.

I expect he’ll see some improvement and finish this season with about the same numbers that he posted last season, if not, they could be a bit better. There’s nearly 2.25 runs difference between his ERA and FIP.
Both DJ LaMahieu and Carlos Gonzalez may play on Monday. If they don’t, there’s a good chance they’ll play in this game on Tuesday. Keep an eye for both those names in the lineups.
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs swept Milwaukee four games in a row and will stay right at home to begin this week against the Rockies. They’ll play three, take a day off to travel to St. Louis and then play the Cardinals for three over the weekend.
For it’s work this weekend, Chicago moved into second-place in the NL Central, behind Pittsburgh, which will fade, and probably sooner rather than later.

Kris Bryant came back on Saturday and went 0-for-3 with a walk. He went 0-for-4 on Sunday but Tyler Chatwood gave the Cubs a huge lift with seven scoreless innings, his second win in a row.
The starting rotation still has problems but Kyle Hendricks isn’t one of them. He is a favorite just about every time he takes the mound.
