Currently sitting at 77-58, the Cubs lead the NL Wild Card race and remain just 6.5 games behind the Brewers in the division. On the mound, they will send Javier Assad (0-1, 3.86 ERA), who has allowed just one run in each of his last two starts and looks capable of silencing Colorado’s struggling bats.

On the pitching side, Colorado has not fared much better with a season ERA of 6.00. They will send McCade Brown (0-1, 9.82 ERA) to the mound, who struggled badly in his first start, giving up four earned runs in just 3.2 innings against Pittsburgh.
MatchPlug Prediction on Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies
The Cubs are heavy favorites for a reason. They are 8-2 in their last 10 games against Colorado and have swept their last five meetings. Their offense looks to have found rhythm again, while Assad has been reliable on the mound.
The Rockies’ poor pitching and inconsistent hitting make this another uphill battle. Expect Chicago to control this contest from start to finish.
Final Prediction: Cubs to win & -1.5 Runs
