New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m backing the over in this one. I think this could just end up being a higher-scoring game where both starters get tagged here, as Christian Scott is making his Coors Field debut and the Mets have also hit lefties well over the last week which doesn’t bode particularly well for Jose Quintana. I think this one will see plenty of runs so give me the over here.
