The Cubs are the best National League team on paper and are starting to show it on the field. In four of the Cubs' previous seven games, they've produced at least eight runs in mostly frigid temperatures. With Anthony Rizzo back in the lineup, the Cubs are stacked from top to bottom. I have Yu Darvish ranked the 24th-best pitcher and FanGraphs has him ranked at No. 14. Darvish is 30 cents better than the average road pitcher. Tyler Anderson is 10 cents better than average at home when adjusted for pitching in Denver.
The Cubs rolled yesterday, but I like the Rockies to bounce back today at +130 because of starter Tyler Anderson. He's given up just three earned runs in his last three starts and has a WHIP of 1.26 in April. Great value on the Rockies here despite the Cubs' recent offensive outburst.
