Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Prediction

Are the Mets back? Two straight wins. Can we trust them again? I’m not there yet, but I’m certainly not backing the Rockies on the road with Lorenzen on the mound. Through 21.2 innings, Lorenzen has a 7.48 ERA and 2.12 WHIP. Peralta has had his hiccups through 26.2 frames, but he’s been far better than Lorenzen. Hell, you’ve probably been better than Lorenzen, too. I’ll side with the Mets, but I’ll cover my eyes doing so.
