Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Prediction 

Colorado continues to have struggles on the road this season and their pitching staff has been a huge problem. The Rockies are last in the MLB in team ERA and they aren’t even close to the team in front of them. On the bright side for Colorado, Feltner has been very good in his last three starts, but still has an ERA north of five. New York is fighting in the NL Wild Card race and they have really improved their offense. The Mets are starting Scott, who has done a very good job of limiting base runners in limited action this season. Colorado is a team that I rarely back away from home and this situation is no different. My Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets prediction is for the Mets to win by at least two runs.
