Free MLB Pick
Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa is coming off of one of his worst performances of the season, but we expect him to rebound tonight. He catches the Cubs on a downward trend after getting swept by the lowly Phillies and his historical stats against Chicago are good recording five Q start in his six career starts against them. He has fared well against the active roster holding them to a .190 batting average in 70 plate appearances although he has walked 11. Colorado’s offense is on top form scoring 6.83 runs per game over their last six and face a starter who they have had success against hitting in .297 in 37 career at bats versus Hendricks. The juicy line put out by the linesmaker has us jumping on the dog here.
