No, we haven't lost our minds and are fully aware of the Colorado Rockies massive road struggles this season! The Rockies are a MLB-worst 16-34 away from Coors Field this year and are now sporting the worst record in the National League. So even with all of those factors against us, we're going to back them tonight when they face off with the Chicago Cubs and Edwin Jackson. A couple of things to keep in mind here. For starters, Jackson (5-11, 5.76) has been a very successful "play against" for us all season and his recent form indicates he has yet to figure anything out. He has not won in his last six starts and has posted a 7.47 ERA during that span. Conversely, in a season where there hasn't been much go right, Jorge De La Rosa (11-6, 4.19) has been a bright spot for these Rockies. De La Rosa has won his last five decisions and has enjoyed tons of success against the Cubs, where he has gone 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA throughout his career. The Cubs are 1-11 in Jackson's last 12 starts vs. the NL West and 0-12 when Jackson is off four days rest. The Rockies are 11-2 in De La Rosa's last 13 starts after scoring two runs or less in their previous game. The Rockies are still the NL's highest scoring team and we think they hit around Jackson hard tonight while getting another solid performance from De La Rosa. Lots of value here tonight with the road doggie. The Sharps say...
