Key Stats
Chicago Cubs
The Cubs are projected to send Luke Little to the mound for today’s game. Little has started the season 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and one strikeout. Ian Happ leads the team with a .421 batting average, eight hits, and an OBP of .522. Christopher Morel has a team-high two home runs, while Cody Bellinger has collected six RBIs.
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies will send Cal Quantrill to bump for today’s game. Quantrill is 0-1 this year with a 9.00 ERA and one strikeout. Ryan McMahon leads the team with a .400 batting average, eight hits, and an OBP of .458. Elias Diaz has collected a team-high one home run, while Charlie Blackmon has collected three RBIs.
Game Prediction
Colorado is horrible, and with Cal Quantrill pitching, this Cubs lineup should have no issues scoring. The Rockies’ offense has been stagnant this year, but with Little pitching, they could muster a few runs. Chicago is hands down the better team, and this is an easy one to call. Give me the Cubs to cruise to an easy win at home.
Final Pick
Chicago Cubs -1.5 (+114)
