The Colorado Rockies ranks 3rd in the league for doubles this season (234).

Pick

The Rockies won Game 1 in this series in very convincing fashion, but can they keep the bats hot in this Game? Chicago is only 23-41 on the road this year, while Colorado has played their best baseball at home. The Rockies are starting Kyle Freeland, who has allowed 4, 3, 4, and 3 earned runs in his last four starts. Chicago is starting Jesse Scholtens, who has allowed six earned runs in his last 18.1 innings of work. This is a brutal Game between two very bad teams, but I am going to take the Rockies at home. Their home record isn’t all that bad and they should have some confidence heading into this Game.

Debt ceiling breach could cut millions of jobs. Here's who would lose employment first

A debt default could cause nearly 8 million job cuts, Moody's Analytics said. As the U.S. hurtles closer to a default on its debt as early as next month, the economic consequences could prove devastating, especially for millions who stand to lose their jobs. Even a brief debt ceiling breach of about one week would slash 1.5 million jobs, raising the un employment rate from 3.4% to 5%, a Moody's Analytics report found in March. An extended breach of roughly two months would bring a massive wave of unemployment, cutting nearly 8 million jobs and pushing the unemployment rate to 7.8%, the report said. "​​The economic downturn that would ensue would be comparable to that suffered during the global financial crisis," Moody's Analytics warned of a prolonged debt ceiling breach. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would send financial markets into turmoil, raise interest rates at a moment when elevated borrowing costs already weigh on economic activity and all but en...

Loud explosions boomed over Kyiv as the nighttime attack combined Russian missiles launched from the air, sea and land in an apparent attempt to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses. No casualties were reported as Western-supplied weapons helped fend off the assault.
