Bet Tonight’s Cubs vs. Rockies Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Cubs are just 7-16 in their last 23 games in Denver and are winless at 0-4 in their last four games versus a team with a winning record. They’re also coming off an epic 18-inning loss to the Yankees on Sunday night and will likely be road-weary when they face the Rockies tonight. It’s just a bad spot for Chicago.
