Colorado at Chicago

The Colorado Rockies are 13-26 on the road this season, and Ryan Feltner (5.20) is not the kind of arm that makes road trips easier. Edward Cabrera counters with a superior strikeout profile and a Cubs team that has been one of the better home clubs in the NL, winning nearly three of every five games at Wrigley this year. The gap between these rotations is real — Cabrera punches out batters at a rate Feltner cannot match, and the Rockies' lineup hasn't shown it can solve above-average pitching away from Coors. The market agrees: the line has moved toward Chicago since it opened, confirming where the weight of opinion sits. The Rockies are in survival mode on the road, and this is the wrong venue and the wrong matchup for a turnaround. Play Chicago tonight.
