(MLB) Colorado vs. Chi Cubs,
Money Line: 122.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Win
Colorado at Chicago 8:00 ET
Rockies over Cubs- In a very unusual situation both these clubs had an opportunity to win their respective divisions yesterday and must now after losing will play a one-and-done Wild Card elimination match. The ironic thing is that both these clubs had the division lead with three games remaining and were able to hold off the Dodgers and Brewers. Colorado will start Kyle Freeland (17-7, 2.85 ERA) who closed the season with 11 straight quality starts going 8-0 with a 2.18 ERA. Jon Lester (18-6, 3.32) who is also hot finishing the season 6-1 with a 1.71 ERA over his last eight starts. But, he is 1-3 in five starts against the Rockies. It's been a struggle for Chicago of late while Colorado won nine of 10 before their loss to Los Angeles Monday. Take the ROCKIES!
