As expected, the Chicago Cubs will not play any meaningful games after the All-Star break. They are joined in that regard by the Colorado Rockies, who actually own a worse record than the Cubs on the season. In predictable fashion, Colorado plays well at home but struggles on the road - a fate they have carried for a long time. This season is no exception as the Rockies' road woes have left them at 16-34, winning less than one in every three games. The Cubs took the opener 4-1, and look to be in good shape tonight as the Rockies are 22-55 in their last 77 on the road as a dog. The quality of teams they play is not a difference maker, noting their 0-5 mark in their last five on the road vs. a team with a losing home record. You can't trust the road team here, so make the play on the Cubs.
