Colorado Rockies vs NY Mets Prediction
Paul Blackburn was sharp in his first game with the Mets after leaving the hellhole that is Oakland. I’m assuming a change of scenery is going to do wonders for Blackburn. Ryan Feltner has been a disaster this season, and he’s even worse when pitching in Coors. The Mets have the edge on the mound, and they simply can’t afford for games like this to slip away. If the Mets are serious about sneaking into the postseason, these are games they need to win. Give me the Mets and the reasonable price.
