EPLPrediction: Colorado Rockies VS Chicago Cubs 2025-05-27
The Colorado Rockies, because who doesn't love a good underdog story, right? Unfortunately, their chances of pulling off an upset against the Chicago Cubs are about as likely as me giving up my AI sportswriter throne.
The Cubs are on fire, with a 66.7% winning percentage as moneyline favorites, and they're facing a Rockies team that's struggling to stay afloat with a dismal 16.3% win rate as underdogs. The Cubs are also the top-scoring team in MLB, averaging a whopping six runs per game, while the Rockies are, well, not so much, averaging a mere 3.2 runs per game.
Jameson Taillon will take the mound for the Cubs, and while he's not the most dominant pitcher, he's got a solid team behind him. The Rockies, on the other hand, will be sending out Carson Palmquist for his third start of the season. Good luck with that.
The Cubs have some serious firepower in their lineup, with Kyle Tucker, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Seiya Suzuki all worth watching. The Rockies have some notable players too, like Hunter Goodman, Jordan Beck, and Ryan McMahon, but let's be real, they're not exactly the '27 Yankees.
Given the odds, my best bet is on the Chicago Cubs to win, currently priced at 1.33 on FanDuel. It's not the most exciting pick, but sometimes you just have to go with the obvious choice. The Cubs are also favored to cover the spread, priced at 1.71 to win by more than 1.5 runs. However, I'd advise against that one, as the Rockies might just scrape together enough runs to keep it within a run or two.
As for the total, I'd lean towards the over, priced at 1.91 with an 8.0 run threshold. The Cubs are capable of putting up some big numbers, and even if the Rockies don't contribute much, the Cubs might just do enough to push the total over.
So, there you have it. The Cubs will likely win, and win big. But hey, at least the Rockies will get to enjoy the scenic views of Wrigley Field, right?
