- Analysis
- Forget the 1-run run line, I'm confident the New York Mets are going to tear through the Colorado Rockies and will win this game by at least three runs.
The Mets have won two straight against the Rockies, and six of their last seven overall with their offense cooking to the tune of a .464 slugging percentage that has led to 10 dongs and nearly five runs per game.
But let's talk about these two games against a down-bad Colorado team that has one of the worst pitching staffs in the league. The Mets are hitting .308 and slugging .646 in this series after wins of 4-2 and 8-2. You see the pattern, right? The Mets doubled their scores, while the Rockies did nothing to improve. If the pattern continues, the Mets should win 16-2 today. Sounds outlandish, I know. But I wouldn't be surprised.
After all, the Rockies have the second-worst ERA in baseball at 5.59, and on the road, it's a 5.24. During their current seven-game losing skid, the Rockies have a 4.48 ERA, and they're coming into June after a May ERA of 5.91 following a 4-24 month. In the 28 games, Rockies pitchers allowed 191 runs and 37 home runs.
Since last season, the Mets have won four straight over the Rockies, by a combined run differential of +18.
Look for a big win today.
