Prediction: Colorado Rockies VS Chicago Cubs 2025-05-26

The Colorado Rockies, with a dismal 9-43 record, are about to face the wrath of the Chicago Cubs, who are sitting pretty at 31-21. It's like a lamb being led to slaughter, folks. The Cubs are favored to win, and for good reason - they've got a 66.7% winning percentage as moneyline favorites, while the Rockies have a paltry 16.3% win rate as underdogs.

Jameson Taillon is taking the mound for the Cubs, and let's just say the Rockies' bats are in for a long day. The Cubs are the top-scoring team in the league, averaging a whopping six runs per game, while the Rockies are, well, not so much, averaging a mere 3.2 runs per game.

Key players to watch for the Cubs include Kyle Tucker, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Seiya Suzuki, who are all likely to have a field day against the Rockies' struggling pitching. As for the Rockies, Hunter Goodman, Jordan Beck, and Ryan McMahon will need to bring their A-game if they want to keep up with the Cubs' high-powered offense.

The odds are heavily in favor of the Cubs, with a moneyline price of around 1.29-1.31 across various bookmakers. The spread is set at -1.5, with the Cubs priced at around 1.53-1.57. The over/under is set at 8.0, with both the over and under priced at around 1.91.

My best bet for this game? Take the Cubs to cover the spread at -1.5. The Rockies just don't have the firepower to keep up with the Cubs, and I expect Chicago to win by at least two runs. The price of around 1.53-1.57 is a steal, considering the Cubs' dominance as favorites and the Rockies' struggles as underdogs.

So, if you want to make some easy money, bet on the Cubs to cover the spread. Just don't say I didn't warn you - the Rockies are in for a world of hurt.
