Key Storylines
- Pitching Matchup: Javier Assad (0-1, 3.86 ERA) has shown promise since returning from injury and he will look to avoid getting beat up at Coors Field like so many other pitchers have. Colorado’s McCade Brown is 0-1 and has a 9.82 ERA. He struggled in his MLB debut with four earned runs allowed over 3.2 innings. His performance at Coors Field will be crucial for the Rockies.

They will pose a significant challenge for the Rockies’ pitching staff after scoring 11 runs against the Rockies on Friday night. Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with 26 home runs and the Rockies scored seven runs of their own in Friday’s loss. They will look to outscore Chicago here.

Final Thoughts
The Cubs are better both on the mound and at the plate and they should get a second win in a row over the Rockies tonight. As far as the margin goes, I think that the Cubs will win the game by at least two runs and cover the runline thanks to their explosive offense taking on a struggling starting pitcher in McCade Brown.
