Colorado Rockies vs NY Mets Prediction
This game is going to be slower scoring. Severino wasn’t good in his last start, but he sits with an ERA of 3.93 and facing the Rockies is a much easier job than facing the Twins offense. Freeland in his last start gave up six hits and one run, and he’s going to step up in a big way here. Both offenses are going to be ice-cold here, and this game is going to end up staying under the total.
