The New York Mets and Colorado Rockies meet Sunday in MLB action at Coors Field.
The New York Mets look for a win after winning four of their last five games. The Mets have scored 11 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in four of their last five games. The Mets are 5-0 this season when scoring four or more runs. Brandon Nimmo leads the Mets with 16 hits and four RBI while Dominic Smith and James McCann have combined for 16 hits and nine RBI. Marcus Stroman gets the ball, and he is 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA and six strikeouts this season. Stroman is 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA and nine strikeouts in his career against the Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies need a win after losing seven of their last eight games. The Rockies have scored 15 runs in their last three games and three or less runs in six of their last eight games. The Rockies are 0-7 this season when scoring three or less runs. Ryan McMahon leads the Rockies with 15 hits and 10 RBI while Trevor Story and Raimel Tapia have combined for 26 hits and nine RBI. Antonio Senzatela gets the ball, and he is 1-2 with a 7.07 ERA and seven strikeouts this season. Senzatela is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA and eight strikeouts in his career against the Mets.
The Mets are 1-4 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series and 1-4 in their last 5 during game 3 of a series. The Rockies are 2-7 in their last 9 during game 3 of a series and 1-4 in their last 5 Sunday games. The under is 4-1-1 in Mets last 6 overall. The under is 7-1-1 in Rockies last 9 overall. The Mets are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings in Colorado and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The New York Mets offense should pick up at Coors and Stroman has been lights out through 12 innings this season. The Colorado Rockies look awful through the first couple of weeks and the offense has done little to nothing, even at home. Antonio Senzatela has also allowed 18 hits and 11 earned runs through 14 innings this season and he has a career ERA over five. The Mets should win this game and the price is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Mets on the ML.
