🧪 Cubs vs. Rockies Prediction
With a clear mismatch on the mound and at the plate, it’s hard to envision anything but a comfortable Cubs win here. Taillon has found his rhythm, and the Cubs’ offense continues to lead the league in production. Palmquist’s elevated ERA and .432 opponent batting average should spell trouble early.
Prediction:
🧢 Cubs 6
🪨 Rockies 3
Best Bets:
✅ Cubs -1.5
✅ Over 8 Runs
The Cubs are surging at the plate and have a considerable edge in both pitching and momentum. Back the North Siders to cover the spread and push the total over 8.
