Chicago’s biggest edge is its overall run prevention. The Cubs have a much lower ERA, lower WHIP, fewer walks, more strikeouts, and a lower opponent batting average than Colorado. That pitching advantage stands out even with the game being played in Denver.
Rockies Look for a Home Turnaround
Colorado comes into this game with a 24-42 overall record and a 12-19 home mark. The Rockies have gone 1-4 over their last five games, recently winning over Los Angeles while recently losing to Milwaukee three times and Los Angeles once.
Colorado is batting .246 with 284 runs, 548 hits, 61 home runs, a .316 on-base percentage, and a .388 slugging percentage. The Rockies pitching staff has a 5.60 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP, 220 walks, 475 strikeouts, and a .288 opponent batting average.
Colorado’s best offensive argument is contact, as the Rockies have the higher batting average and more hits. However, the pitching numbers are the concern, especially with a 5.60 team ERA and a .288 opponent batting average.

Colorado has the higher batting average, but Chicago’s broader team profile makes the Cubs the pick.
