Rockies vs Cubs Prediction

The Chicago Cubs picked up a high-scoring victory over the Colorado Rockies in the series opener.

My Rockies vs. Cubs predictions and MLB picks are backing the home team to produce a similar outcome in Game 2.

Who will win Rockies vs Cubs today: Cubs -1.5 (+100)

Ryan Feltner owns a 3.86 ERA over the past 30 days despite an alarming 4.73 xFIP and 5.03 SIERA.

He has lucked out with an unsustainably low .174 BABIP, light years below his career average of .301.

He is not a good starter — he sits in the seventh percentile in Pitcher Run Value — and these red flags are catching up to him. The Chicago Cubs scored six runs on Feltner just a few days ago and should be heading for another strong output.

Back the Cubs on the run line to -110.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Cubs rank fifth in flyball rate against right-handed pitching at home, which sets them up for success with windy conditions expected to provide a boost to hitters.

Rockies vs Cubs Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (-110)

We’ve already discussed the good spot the Cubs are in to produce runs.

The Colorado Rockies have a nice matchup of their own against Edward Cabrera. The wheels have completely fallen off after a strong start to the campaign, with the veteran righty conceding at least three runs in eight of his past 10 games.

Cabrera ranks in the 23rd percentile in xERA, the 13th percentile in Pitcher Run Value, and the fourth percentile in barrel rate. That he is bleeding runs is no coincidence.

Windy conditions are also expected to help balls carry, creating a perfect environment for offense.

Play to -125.
