Cubs (77-58) VS Rockies (38-97)

Aug 31, 2025 | 5:10 PM ET | Coors Field, Denver, CO

Colorado Rockies
Moneyline Pick - Chicago Cubs (-265): B-

Chicago arrives at Coors Field with momentum and a frontline arm who has consistently handled this opponent. Their rotation edge is reinforced by an offense that has produced well in hitter-friendly environments, giving them a balanced profile against a Colorado club still battling injuries and struggling to generate wins. With the Rockies continuing to slide and their lineup missing key contributors, the matchup tilts heavily toward the visitors. Postseason stakes further fuel urgency, making this prediction favor Chicago despite the chalk.

From a betting perspective, the Cubs stand out as the stronger pick even at a steep price. Their pitching stability and lineup depth give them the clear advantage, while Colorado’s struggles both in form and roster health leave little margin. Although Coors Field always introduces volatility, Chicago’s overall edge justifies backing them here. For bettors, the situational context supports the favorite as the sounder play.

Over/Under Pick - Under 11 (-105): B

This matchup shapes up more pitcher-friendly than Coors Field typically suggests. Chicago’s starter has excelled at keeping the ball on the ground, a key asset in Denver’s altitude, while Colorado’s lineup has lacked punch and continues to miss its top power threat. Even if the Cubs generate some offense, the Rockies’ inability to consistently contribute lowers the scoring ceiling. With cooler nighttime conditions and expanded bullpens ready to absorb innings, the setup leans toward a tighter, lower-scoring affair than the venue’s reputation implies, making the Under the sharper prediction.

From a betting perspective, the Under offers solid value. Chicago’s ability to control the game through pitching, paired with Colorado’s ongoing offensive struggles, reduces the likelihood of a slugfest. While variance at Coors is always possible, recent form and conditions point to scoring restraint. For bettors looking past the park’s high-scoring history, this bet fits both statistical trends and situational context.

Spread Pick - Chicago Cubs, -1.5 (-167): B

Chicago’s lineup looks well-positioned to continue its run-line success, boosted by key bats back in the order and consistent production against Colorado pitching. The Rockies, on the other hand, remain mired in form issues and have struggled to keep games competitive, particularly with a rookie starter who has yet to show durability at the big-league level. Add in their inability to avoid multi-run losses during this recent slide, and the setup tilts strongly toward another comfortable Cubs win. With postseason urgency in play, this prediction leans toward Chicago extending separation.

From a betting standpoint, the Cubs on the run line are the stronger pick. Their recent success in covering this number, paired with Colorado’s lack of resistance in losses, points to value even at Coors Field. While the venue always introduces volatility, the balance of lineup depth, starting pitching edge, and current form favors Chicago delivering a multi-run margin once again.
