Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, Betting Analysis
This system targets Overs at Coors Field late in the MLB season, specifically in August through October. The unique hitting environment in Denver — thin air, high altitude, and fatigued pitching staffs down the stretch — creates consistent value on inflated totals.
Even when the closing line sits as high as 11 runs or below, late-season games at Coors often exceed expectations, with offenses benefiting from the conditions and pitchers struggling to keep the ball in the park.
Backing the over in these spots has historically produced strong returns, capitalizing on one of MLB’s most reliable late-season trends.
Pick: Over 11 (-110, BetMGM)
