Colorado Rockies vs NY Mets Prediction
Austin Gomber has been respectable at home this season and gives the Rockies a punchers chance. Then again, the Rockies aren’t winning games and aren’t a fun team to back most nights. The NY Mets continue to make a playoff push, and these are games they need to take advantage of to improve those odds. David Peterson has been strong this season in a somewhat limited role. The price is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Mets for another win.
