Rockies Have Been Awful
It’s been the same story all season for the Rockies, the pitching has been a problem and the offense hasn’t been good enough.

The Rockies are averaging 4.13 runs, while their pitching is giving up 5.89 runs per game. The offense is ranked 23rd in the league, while the pitching is ranked 30th. Ryan McMahon was hit 14 home runs and driven in 45 RBis so far this season. Getting the start for the Rockies will be German Marquez, who is being activated from the 60 day IL to make this start.

Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Prediction
Marquez is being activated for this game, and I really trust him. Quintana has really struggled each of his last two starts, and over his last 14 innings he has given up zero runs. The Rockies and Mets are both going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and that is going to be the difference here, as this game is going to be lower scoring. Back the under to cash here with ease.
