Cubs vs Rockies MLB Betting Preview
Editor’s Note: This written pick is a transcription from today's episode of the Payoff Pitch Podcast.
The Cubs are heading out west to Colorado to face the Rockies tonight, with Colin Rea going against one of our favorite whipping boys on the podcast, Tomoyuki Sugano. Sugano got off to a really hot start, but we’re going back to the well against him tonight.
He still has an ERA under 4.00 and a WHIP around 1.25, but Sugano is due for some pretty significant negative regression. His last five starts show a 5.11 SIERA and 5.20 expected FIP.
On the season his SIERA is right around 5.00. He’s outpitching his underlying indicators by nearly a full run so far, so I think a blow-up is coming at some point.
Colin Rea hasn’t been great lately either. He pitched well early in the season but has been declining since. His last five starts show very similar metrics to Sugano — SIERA up to around 4.5 and expected FIP over 5.00. So it’s not a massive starting pitching edge, but I do prefer the Cubs’ offense and especially their defense.
The Cubs are probably the best defensive team on the slate. Offensively, the gap between these two lineups is the biggest I have on today’s entire slate when you factor in wRC+, contact, swing decisions, and power. It’s a massive advantage for Chicago in both process and power.
The bullpens are the sketchier part. The Cubs have a bottom-10 bullpen in my rankings, and the Rockies are 25th, so there’s about a quarter-run difference there.
But I see a near-full-run advantage for the Cubs in the starting-pitcher matchup. That’s why I’m on the Cubs in both the first five and the full game.
Pick: Cubs ML (-155 or Better) | Cubs F5 ML (-155 or Better)
