Mets vs Rockies Prediction
We’re not to the point where we can trust the Mets just because they won a couple of games. This team is a mess. However, I’m not thrilled to back the Rockies. I’m looking at the over. Quintana has a 6.23 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 13 innings and has walked 9 while striking out just 3. Senga has an 8.83 ERA and 1.90 WHIP through 17.1 innings, and he’s walked 10. Both pitchers have been hit hard and both pitchers have had control issues. We should see some runs. Give me the over on Saturday afternoon.
