Colorado Rockies vs Chicago Cubs Analysis
The Chicago Cubs will rely on Javier Assad for his first start of the 2024 season. Assad, a 26-year-old from Mexico, had a solid 2023 season with a 5-3 record and a 3.05 ERA in 32 appearances, including 10 starts.
In Monday’s win, Christopher Morel and Cody Bellinger stood out for the Cubs with their offensive contributions. Ian Happ has been a consistent performer with a team-high batting average of .417, a must-watch on the Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies match player stats.
While the Cubs haven’t displayed much power hitting yet, Dansby Swanson has managed a home run and three RBIs. Shota Imanga’s impressive debut on the mound was a highlight for the Cubs.
For the Colorado Rockies, veterans like Charlie Blackmon and Brendan Rodgers have been trying to fire up the offense, but they’ve struggled to score runs. Dakota Hudson looked good early in his last outing, but the Rockies’ offense couldn’t provide enough support.
Kyle Freeland is set to start for the Colorado Rockies. Despite a rough opening day performance against Arizona where he lasted just 2.1 innings and conceded 10 runs, Freeland looks to rebound. Last season, he struggled with a 6-14 record and a 5.03 ERA.
