New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Rockies here. I get that this series is kind of must win for New York, to continue to dig themselves out of the hole they put themselves in early on this season. However, the Rockies’ bats at Coors have come to play and Sugano’s been pitching a lot better than I thought he would early on this season. It’ll be interesting to see who the Mets throw out here, but I think the Rockies start the series right. Give me Colorado.
