Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/30/25

The Chicago Cubs snapped their three-game losing streak with a win over the Colorado Rockies last night, and today they’ll look to build some momentum as Javier Assad takes the mound. Making his fourth start of the season, Assad has logged 14 innings across his first three starts, striking out 9 while giving up 15 hits. Assad is 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

For the Rockies, McCade Brown will make his second start of the season. Brown will be looking to rebound from a rough outing against the Pirates in which he gave up four runs on five hits over just 3.2 innings pitched. Offensively, the Cubs are averaging 4.7 runs per game over their last 10, where the Rockies are averaging just 3.4 in that same span. The Rockies pitching has struggled all season, and they currently hold a 6.25 team ERA over their last 10 games. I don’t see things getting any better for Brown or this Rockies team in tonight’s matchup against the Cubs. Look for the Cubs offense to overpower the rookie early on and take advantage of a weak Rockies bullpen late in the game.
