The Chicago Cubs played well in the past week, winning 6 of their last 9 games. They presently occupy the second Wildcard spot in the National League, with a two-game lead over Arizona.

In James Taillon’s last start for the team, he gave up one hit and no runs in six innings, resulting in a 1-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He’ll need to deliver another good effort and more runs for Chicago to win this matchup.

MatchPlug Prediction For Colorado Rockies VS Chicago Cubs

The Cubs have not been playing well offensively and scored just 12 runs in their last four matches. They’ll continue to struggle in offence against Blach who has done well on the mound in recent home starts. He has a lot of success with Chicago in previous contests, holding them to 41 in three starts and will keep their offense in line.

Colorado has struggled in recent matches, losing two of their last three home games. Although they played well offense-wise, scoring 17 runs in their last three home games. They will play well offensively in today’s match as they hit the ball well against right-handers, and Taillon hasn’t been in the best shape on the mound in recent starts. He gave up 10 runs in three previous starts.

Prediction: Chicago Cubs Moneyline.
