New York Mets vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
Kyle Freeland has actually been solid as of late, allowing just 12 earned runs in his last 30.2 innings, and it makes the plus money worth a look. The problem is Freeland pitches for the Rockies, one of the worst teams in baseball and a top-8 losing team for MLB bettors. The New York Mets have played some of the best ball over the last month or so, and they need to keep winning to stay in the wild card race. This Mets offense should have a field day in Coors. Give me the Mets and the RL for max betting value.
