Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies lost two out of three games against New York (AL) over Memorial Day weekend and have a record of 9-45 this season. They are 2-8 in their last ten games and will start right-hander Tanner Gordon against Chicago. Gordon has had mixed performances this season, with a strong outing against the Yankees but a rough appearance against Detroit. The Rockies have struggled in a competitive National League West division, with key players underperforming and the recent firing of manager Bud Black not leading to improvements. Despite their struggles, the team is injury-free for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. The Rockies rank 29th in offense, 30th in defense, and have a power ranking of 30 in the league.

With a record of 33-21 SU, 29-25 RL, and 31-18-5 O/U, the Cubs are on an 8-2 streak in their last ten games. They will be facing Colorado next, with pitcher Matthew Boyd on the mound. Boyd has been relatively consistent this season with a 4-2 record and a 3.42 ERA.

Their power ranking is at 5, and they are currently ranked #1 for offense, scoring an average of 6.00 runs per game.
