Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies will have Dakota Hudson on the mound to start the series, who signed with the team in the offseason after spending his career with the Cardinals. Hudson had a rough season last year with a 4.98 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP, but has solid numbers against the Cubs in his career. The Rockies are on a road trip to start the season and are facing challenges on the mound without key pitchers Marquez and Senzatela. Despite dropping three of four games against the Diamondbacks, third baseman Ryan McMahon has been a bright spot, hitting well in the early games. The team averaged 4.45 runs last season but struggled with pitching, posting the worst ERA in the league. Currently, the Rockies have a power ranking of 25, ranking 16th in offense, 28th in defense, and have a 58-104 record this season.
