Rockies vs Mets Prediction

The Mets and Rockies have flipped the script this week. The Mets have caught fire and have turned their season around a bit, while the Rockies can’t buy a victory right now. Not a great pitching matchup, as neither Scott or Quintana are lighting the world on fire. However, I said previously that this is a soft landing for the Mets. If they’re going to get back on track and back in the playoff standings, it starts against a bad Rockies team. Here we are. Give me the Mets for another victory.
