Chicago Trying to Regain Consistency Away From Home
The Cubs enter Thursday's matchup with a 34-33 overall record and a 14-18 road record. Chicago has gone 2-3 over its last five games. The Cubs recently lost to Colorado 7-3, recently lost to San Francisco 2-1 in ten innings, recently won over San Francisco 3-2 in ten innings, recently lost to San Francisco 18-3, and recently won over the Athletics 7-6. The recent results highlight a team that has struggled to string together victories while alternating between strong performances and difficult losses.

One of Chicago's biggest strengths is its power production. The Cubs have hit 75 home runs, which is significantly more than Colorado's 63. They also own the better on-base percentage and have scored more runs than the Rockies. If Chicago can capitalize on those offensive advantages, it has the ability to bounce back after the recent loss in this series.
Colorado Looking to Build on Recent Success
The Rockies enter the contest with a 25-42 overall record and a 13-19 record at home. Colorado snapped a difficult stretch with a 7-3 victory over Chicago in its most recent game. Prior to that win, the Rockies had recently lost to Milwaukee 12-4, recently lost to Milwaukee 7-1, recently lost to Milwaukee 9-7 in ten innings, and recently lost to the Angels 11-4. While the overall recent record is not ideal, Colorado enters Thursday with momentum from its latest result.
Colorado is batting .247 with 291 runs, 560 hits, and 63 home runs. The Rockies carry a .318 on-base percentage and a .393 slugging percentage. Their pitching staff has struggled, posting a 5.56 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .287. Colorado has issued 224 walks and recorded 481 strikeouts.
The biggest challenge for Colorado has been run prevention. The Rockies have the higher ERA, higher WHIP, and higher opponent batting average in this matchup. Despite having a slightly better team batting average than Chicago, the pitching numbers have made it difficult for Colorado to consistently convert offensive production into victories.
Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Picks and Prediction
Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Pick
- Pick: Chicago Cubs Moneyline
Chicago is the pick because the Cubs own the better overall record and hold advantages in several important team categories. The Cubs have scored more runs, hit more home runs, and carry a significantly better pitching profile than Colorado. While the Rockies won the most recent meeting, the season-long numbers favor Chicago entering Thursday's contest.
Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Total Pick
- Pick: Take the over if the total is set at 10.5.
I would lean toward the over if the total is set at 10.5 because both pitching staffs enter with ERAs above 4.30, and Colorado's team ERA sits at 5.56. The most recent meeting produced 10 runs, and both teams have shown the ability to score while also allowing runs in recent games. The statistical profile points toward another game with scoring opportunities on both sides.
Final Score Prediction: Chicago Cubs 7 – Colorado Rockies 5
