Take #959/960 Cubs/Rockies Over 12
(MLB) Chi Cubs vs. Colorado,
Total: 12.00 | -114.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Cubs will send Javier Assad (3-3, 2.83 ERA) to the mound while the Rockies will throw Chris Flexen (1-7, 7.36) in a matchup of right-handers. Assad has been fantastic we will admit, however this will be his first start at Coors Field and we think he has a let-down after being so good as of late. How do you get up for the Rockies? Colorado (51-92) has dropped five straight and is headed for its first 100-loss season. The Rockies are #12 in MLB in batting average vs righties however, so they can manufacture runs and they are 7-3 to the over their last 10 games. Chris Flexen has a 9.17 ERA and 1.75 WHIP his last 3 starts, and the Cubs are #5 in MLB in OBP vs righties. Add in the fact that Colorado has the worst bullpen ERA in baseball, and we like the over here tonight.
