The Chicago Cubs and the Colorado Rockies are averaging 4.50 and 4.89 runs per nine innings respectively. Colorado starter Kyle Freeland was knocked around by the Dodgers in his first start of the season, but I expect him to bounce back with a strong outing. Cubs' starter Justin Steele held Milwaukee scoreless through five innings in his first start of the year.

Coors Field is a hitters park, but that is no secret. The bookmakers know they can post high totals and the public usually fall right into the trap. The Rockies were 44-34-3 to the under in their home games in 2021.

10* play on UNDER.
