Colorado at Chicago

Colorado has a winning record overall, as well as on the road. Like last year, the Rockies boast one of the best offenses in baseball, #4 in runs scored, #2 in homers, and #8 in on base percentage. Colorado is an excellent bounce back team, 6-1 after a defeat, and playing this finale in Wrigley Field, a small park that is well suited for their bats. The offense has powered its way to 29 runs the last four games, winning three times, including the opener here, 6-1, as a +210 dog. Colorado used its worst two relievers in yesterday's loss, so the best bullpen arms are available, if needed. You can't walk batters in Wrigley Field, and Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood (1-1) has walked one in 12+ innings, and in his only road start allowed one run in 6+ innings at Arizona, a 4-3 win as a +135 dog. Cubs lefty Jon Lester has a 4.50 ERA at home, and last season had a losing record here, his first in the NL, so grab the very live big dog with the dominant offense. Play Colorado.
