The Chicago Cubs and the Colorado Rockies will meet at Wrigley tonight to see who goes to the next level. Two southpaws will oppose each other and both have been delivering. Jon Lester gets the nod for the Cubs and Kyle Freeland will go for the Rockies. Lester is 18-6, with a 3.32 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, and he has not allowed an earned run in his last two starts. Freeland has been on his mark. He is 17-7, with a 2.85 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP but he will be working on just three days’ rest. The Cubs are 51-31 at home and 5-1 in Lester’s last 6 starts against the NL West.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO CUBS
