Rockies vs Mets Prediction

The Mets won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last four. In all four of those wins, the Mets covered a -1.5 run line, and I am backing them to do it again on Sunday. Rookie starter for the Rockies, Carson Palmquist, wasn’t bad in his latest start, but he still needs to learn a lot, and he’s not going to have an easy job against the Mets. I am backing the hosts to score four or five runs off him and secure a comfortable victory. Clay Holmes, on the other hand, is having a great season, and he is not going to have problems against the weakest offense in the MLB. Back the Mets to win and cover.
