Cubs vs. Rockies Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Tuesday, June 9

Following a 10-game losing streak, the Cubs are 5-6 across their last 11 games. Three of those six losses came in extra innings.

Chicago's lineup has been a problem, scoring 3 or fewer runs in five of its last seven games. A series at Coors Field, which has the highest park factor in the majors per Baseball Savant, could provide a boost to their bats.

The Rockies continue to struggle on the mound despite Sugano performing well. They have a team ERA of 5.60 that is backed by a 5.23 xERA, and their 1.52 WHIP allowed is the highest mark in baseball.

Colorado has also given up the highest hard-hit rate (39.6%), per FanGraphs.
