The Colorado Rockies had won nine of 10 games prior to Monday's loss to the LA Dodgers in the tiebreaker for the NL West title. I think they'll get back to their winning ways here in the Wild Card game against the Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs spent a lot of energy and arms out of the bullpen in their 3-1 loss to Milwaukee in the NL Central tiebreaker yesterday. Tonight's starter, right-hander Jon Lester (18-6, 3.32 ERA) has held two of his last three opponents scoreless and allowed only two runs during that stretch. It's one thing to face Cincinnati, Chicago White Sod and Pittsburgh and a whole other thing to take on Colorado's red hot bats.

Rockies right-hander Kyle Freeland (17-7, 2.85 ERA) is 9-1 with a 2.41 ERA in 14 starts since the All-Star break. Rockies are 12-2 in Freeland's last 14 starts vs. a team with a winning record and 21-6 in his last 27 starts overall.

I like the price we get on the visitors in the National League Wild Card game.

10* play on Colorado Rockies.
