The Chicago Cubs come into this game looking to bounce back from a 2-1 loss at the hands of San Francisco last time out to sit at 34-32 this season. After this series, the Cubs will head on the road for a rematch series against the Giants.
Ian Happ has 54 hits with 13 doubles and a team-high 14 home runs and 34 RBIs while Alex Bregman has 64 hits with 9 doubles, a triple, 5 home runs and 19 RBIs. Nico Hoerner’s added 64 hits with 14 doubles, 4 home runs and 33 RBIs and Moises Ballesteros has 33 hits with 6 home runs and 22 RBIs. Pete Crow-Armstrong’s also added 63 hits with 8 doubles, 2 triples, 11 home runs and 32 RBIs as well on the year. Carson Kelly has also contributed 44 hits with 6 doubles, 2 home runs and 18 RBIs. Michael Busch has 58 hits wtih 12 doubles, 6 home runs and 36 RBIs. Dansby Swanson also has 37 hits with 7 home runs and 28 RBIs.
The Colorado Rockies come into this game looking to bounce back from a 12-4 loss at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers last time out to sit at 34-32 this season. After this series, the Rockies will head on the road for a series against the Athletics.
TJ Rumfield has 59 hits with 10 doubles, a triple, 7 home runs and 29 RBIs while Ezequiel Tovar has 46 hits with 13 doubles, 4 home runs and 22 RBIs. Hunter Goodman’s added 55 hits with 11 doubles, 17 home runs and 31 RBIs. Troy Johnston has 65 hits with 18 doubles, 2 home runs and 28 RBIs. Willi Castro also has 48 hits with 10 doubles, 3 home runs and 22 RBIs.
I’m on the over in this game. I haven’t been able to trust either side in this one, but I think this pitching matchup is questionable. Colin Rea at Coors isn’t going to be a fun time for Cubs fans and Sugano has some of the worst expected numbers in all of baseball. I’m backing the over in this one.
