Cubs vs Rockies predictions
As the Chicago Cubs gear up to face the Colorado Rockies, keep an eye on Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ, who have been carrying a good chunk of the offense for the Cubs this season. Suzuki, with his impressive ability to find gaps in the defense, is poised to add some crucial hits and potentially rake in a few RBIs, given his consistent performance so far. On the mound, Javier Assad is another key player to watch, bringing a steady arm with an ERA of 3.14. Assad's knack for limiting walks and homers could play a significant role, especially at Coors Field, known for its hitter-friendly confines.
Turning our focus to the Colorado Rockies, standout players like Brendan Rodgers and Michael Toglia are expected to make significant contributions. Rodgers, hitting a solid .270 this season, will need to leverage his on-base skills to set the table for the power hitters following him. Toglia, tied for leading the team in home runs, could be the difference-maker if he capitalizes on any mistakes made by Cubs pitchers. On the pitching side, Austin Gomber will need to harness control over his pitches to mitigate the Cubs' lineup, aiming to improve upon his current 4.50 ERA by focusing on keeping the ball low in the zone.
Considering the statistics and the current momentum, the Cubs, with their slightly better road record and overall performance, might have the upper edge against the Rockies in this upcoming series. Despite playing at home, the Rockies' pitchers will face a tough challenge against the Cubs' lineup, which has shown resilience and adaptability on the road. It's likely to be a closely contested series, but the Cubs' slightly superior pitching and consistent offense could see them taking a win in this opening game.
