The Colorado Rockies look for a win after splitting their last six games. The split reverses his experience over the past two years (2013-14), when De La Rosa fashioned a 2.92 ERA at Coors compared to 4.66 away from home.
As of this writing, the total for the game was off the board at most books. DJ LeMahieu leads Colorado with 109 hits and 39 RBI while Charlie Blackmon and Troy Tulowitzki have combined for 96 RBI.
While Jorge De La Rosa has compiled a 6.62 ERA at Coors Field this season, his mark on the road (1.93) is the fourth lowest in the National League (minimum 5 GS).
It was the Cubs’ MLB-leading 10th walkoff win of the season.
The Cubs entered the top of the ninth with a three run lead, but the recently-called-up Rafael Soriano blew the save, allowing four runs and putting the Cubs in an 8-7 hole.
The bottom of the fourth, though, flipped the game for the Cubs.
However, Bryant came up and demolished a slider from Axford for a two-run shot to win the ball game on a walk-off for the Cubs, and send the Rockies packing on Monday night with a disappointing 9-8 loss. The Chicago Cubs have lost six of their last seven home games.
When Chicago Cubs righty Kyle Hendricks has taken the mound lately, Under bettors have been the ones cashing in.
