Result:
WIN

Colorado beat the Dodgers in LA to break their 11 game winning streak and that was a huge confidence boost for a team that has really struggled to hold leads and had a terrible record in LA. They dropped the next game last night but I think their confidence is still high coming into this series. Aaron Cook goes for the Rockies and he's got a 3.81 home ERA going 6.9 innings per start. Rich Hill counters for the Cubs and he's got a 10.93 road ERA going just 4.7 innings per start. The Rockies dropped 3 of 4 to the Dodgers which bodes well for them here. They are 11-2 this season having lost 3 of their previous 4 games. Finally, Rich Hill is a lefty and Colorado pounds lefties for 5.3 runs per game and a 12-8 overall record. Rockies here.
