NY Mets vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’ll probably just stay with the Mets. Also probably not touching it due to the thick line. Since returning to the MLB early this month, Scott has one bad outing and one good one. In the bad appearance Scott posted four earned in 5.2 innings. He came back with 5.2 innings and two earned on July 8 versus Pittsburgh, though. As for Feltner, he’s given up just four earned in his last 18.0 innings but has gone 0-2 in those three starts.
On Friday the Mets faded a bit after a hot start but ultimately pulled off the win (despite a couple of spotty bullpen performances). Every batter got on base at least once except for JD Martinez (0-for-3) in a nice all-around offensive game. I like New York to keep it rolling Saturday, but I’m still probably not going near the hefty line.
