The Chicago Cubs will be shooting for their fifth straight victory over the Colorado Rockies in Saturday’s Game 2.
The Cubs, who outgunned the Rockies 11-7 in the series opener, offer a $100 payout per $136 bet if they can win by at least two runs against Colorado, based on the current odds on DraftKings.
After three subpar games against the San Francisco Giants, the Cubs’ offense broke out against the Rockies in Game 1, scoring 11 runs on 15 hits. The Cubs, who are 6.5 games behind the No.1 team in the National League, the 84-52 Milwaukee Brewers, occupy the top spot in the NL wild card race with a 77-58 record. On Saturday, the Cubs are sending in Javier Assad, who is 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA this season.
The Rockies are trying to breach the 40-win mark this season after losing their last three games and four of their last five. Colorado, which carries a 6.00 ERA in the season, posted slightly better numbers on the mound this week with a 5.14 ERA, though the offense remains horrendous as they average 3.2 runs per game on a .216 BA in their last five games. McCade Brown will start for Colorado in Game 2. Brown is 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA this season.

Our Colorado Rockies vs Chicago Cubs Prediction
The Cubs are an easy pick to win and cover the spread on Saturday. They are 8-2 in their last 10 meetings with Colorado, and have swept the last five meetings. In their last three games against the Rockies, Chicago has averaged 3.0 runs per game, but also suffocated Colorado to 1.67 runs per game. I am also confident that Assad will fare well against Colorado after allowing only one run in each of his last two starts.
McCade Brown did not impress in his first start for Colorado, as he allowed four earned runs over 3.2 innings in a 0-4 loss to the Pirates. Moreover, the Rockies are 19-28 against the spread in home games this season and 1-6 SU in its last 7 games.
Our betting prediction for the Colorado Rockies vs. the Chicago Cubs: the Cubs -1.5 Runs
