This game will be played at Coors Field but this is a very high total and the 14 mph wind will be blowing left to right across the field, not in or out.
Justin Steele threw five scoreless innings of four-hit ball with five strikeouts and one walk in a 9-0 home win against the Brewers last Saturday and while Kyle Freeland struggled in his first start of the season against the Dodgers, he allowed just two earned runs on four hits (one home run) and five strikeouts with zero walks over five innings in his only start against the Cubs last year (on August 8).
Chicago's projected lineup has five batters with a strikeout rate above 21 percent and the Rockies have the best bullpen in the majors, with their relievers posting an 0.78 ERA (two earned runs allowed over 23 innings).
The Under is 4-1 in Chicago's last five road games and 7-1 in Colorado's last eight games against a left-handed starter.
MLB Pick: Under 11.5
