Prediction for Colorado Rockies vs Chicago Cubs

There is no big difference between Javier Assad and Austin Gomber, so the extra money could be worth it. However, if the Cubs want one last shot at a possible wild card spot, they'll need to take advantage of a series against a weak Rockies team. The price isn't crazy, and it's a matter of life or death for the Cubs. I'm betting the Cubs will play on the road and pay a reasonable price.
