Chicago Cubs
Moneyline Pick - Chicago Cubs (-355): B

The Chicago Cubs are set to host the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field today, with both teams experiencing contrasting seasons. The Cubs have been showcasing a potent offense, particularly in the later innings, and are currently on a great run in their last ten. Their lineup has been effective against left-handed pitching, and they have a favorable matchup today. On the other hand, the Rockies are enduring a challenging season, with a struggling bullpen and a lineup that has underperformed on the road. Their starting pitcher today has faced difficulties in his initial outings, which could be problematic against a Cubs team that has been capitalizing on such opportunities.

Given these dynamics, backing the Cubs on the run line appears to be a solid bet. While the odds may not offer significant value, the Cubs' current form and the Rockies' struggles suggest a strong likelihood of a decisive victory for Chicago. It's advisable to place bets promptly, as lines may shift closer to game time.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8, (-110): A-

The Chicago Cubs, currently on a 7-3 run in their last ten, are set to host the Colorado Rockies, who still haven't won ten games this season. The Cubs' offense has been particularly potent in the later innings, outscoring opponents 53-3 from the sixth to ninth innings over their past nine games. Conversely, the Rockies' pitching staff has struggled, with an ERA close to 6.00, and their starting pitcher for today has a challenging track record this season.

Given these factors, betting on the total runs exceeding eight seems like a strong play. The combination of the Cubs' offensive momentum, the Rockies' pitching struggles, and favorable hitting conditions due to the wind suggests a high-scoring game. This scenario offers enough value to warrant an A- confidence rating.

Spread Pick - Chicago Cubs, -1.5 (-165): B

The Cubs return home riding a 4-1 run in their last five, welcoming a Rockies team mired in a prolonged slump and sitting at the bottom of the league standings. Colorado’s lineup depth remains a concern following more injury trouble, and their road offense continues to underperform. On the mound, Chicago starts a reliable right-hander who’s consistently shut down opponents, while the Rockies send out a starter who has been extremely hittable in recent outings.

Given the disparity in recent form and the Rockies’ run differential, backing the Cubs to cover the run line is a sensible approach—even at a steeper price. The matchup lines up favorably for Chicago in nearly every aspect, making this a worthwhile investment for bettors seeking solid ROI.
