Key Stats
New York Mets
The New York Mets are looking to break free of their slump. With a record of 4-6 over their last ten games, 59-54 overall, they currently are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. Although they are only one game back from the Atlanta Braves, the Mets need to string some good games together. New York will send out David Peterson on the mound to start the game. Peterson has a record of 5-1 on the season and has held Colorado batters to a batting average of .209, 9/43 overall, with ten Ks and two home runs.
The Mets’ offense has been above average all season long. Led by shortstop Francisco Lindor and first baseman Pete Alonso, they rank in the top ten in Runs (8th), OPS (8th), total bases (8th), and home runs (5th). We know playing in Colorado is a hitters’ field. This game is primed for a top-eight offense in the MLB to keep the Mets rolling and further close the gap with the Braves.
Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies have been a bad team all season long. They currently sit 30 games under .500 with a record of 42-72, 4-6 over their last ten, and 25-29 at home. Austin Gomber will start on the mound for the Rockies in this game. With a record of 3-7 in games he has started, he is coming off a very good performance. He pitched seven innings, struck out six batters, and only gave up two runs. Colorado will need a similar performance to pull out the win against the Mets.
Offensively, this team is led by their shortstop Ezequiel Tovar. Tovar leads the team in batting average (.280) and hits (130). For the season, they are an average offense. They rank 19th in total runs, 16th in batting average, 16th in OPS, and 14th in home runs. Over their last ten games, they have been outscored by a run differential of 50-31. If they have any chance of pulling this game out, Colorado is going to have to bring their A-game offensively.
Prediction
This game is not rocket science. I am picking the New York Mets to beat the Colorado Rockies. In a hitter’s park, Coors Field, New York’s offense will continue to show out. Peterson is coming off a quality start, pitching, and looks to carry that momentum into his game against the Rockies tomorrow. The Mets need to stack wins, and the Rockies have no postseason aspirations.
Final Pick
New York Mets ML (-154)
