After another strong offensive showing at home, the Rockies now go for their first series win since the All-Star break. A win today would improve the Rockies to a near NL best 35-20 home record. With 54 games remaining on the year, the Rockies are trending towards not losing 100 games. Though things could quickly go wrong, FanGraphs currently projects the Rockies to finish the year 70-92. The worst record in club history is 64-98 set by the 2012 squad.
The new look Cubs will send the right hander Alec Mills (4-4, 4.55 ERA) out to the mound.
