Mets vs Rockies Prediction

The Mets won eight of the previous ten H2H encounters, including all five meetings this season. Even though I am not sure whether the Rockies will be able to avoid another sweep, I am backing them to put up a fight and stay close. Tyler Megill hasn’t pitched well recently, as he allowed 3+ runs in five of his last seven starts. Chase Dollander, on the other hand, began to lower his ERA in recent games, not allowing more than two runs in four of his last five starts. The rookie still needs to learn, but the best way for that is against the strongest teams. I am going with the Rox to cover.
