Weather & availability impact for this fixture

Conditions · who's out · how it moves the number
For Colorado Rockies vs Chicago Cubs: Ballpark wind and temperature can swing the run total, though the live per-park feed isn't wired into this page yet, and 23 players are listed out or questionable across both sides.
FactorThis fixture
Ballpark weatherWind and temperature at the park move run totals, but our ballpark weather module is pending a file-to-table persistence job.
Availability23 listed out or questionable (see Who's out above)

General rule: wind blowing out and warm air help the ball carry (more runs and home runs), while wind in and cold air suppress scoring; the starting pitchers listed above are the single biggest driver of the run total.

Chicago Cubs vs Colorado Rockies : Under 7.5 alternate_team_totals (-385)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on 'Chicago Cubs Under 7.5' for the Team Total Runs is driven by a combination of the Cubs' recent performance and the Rockies' defensive capabilities. Over their last five games, the Cubs have averaged 6.8 runs, which is below the 7.5 line set for this game. Additionally, the Rockies have been solid defensively, allowing just 3.2 runs on average in their last five games, and even when playing away, this only increases to 4.8 runs. Furthermore, the Cubs' batting average over the last five games is 10.6 hits, which is unlikely to produce more than 7.5 runs consistently. Coupled with the Rockies' average pitcher base on balls at 3.2, it suggests a lower scoring game, supporting the under 7.5 runs bet for the Cubs.
