Rockies vs Mets Prediction

I still need to see more from the Mets to completely buy in but they’ve won 3 of their last 4 games. The best stretch we’ve seen from this group. The Rockies keep piling up the losses and Lorenzen hasn’t been good with his 6.09 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 34 frames. Peralta is averaging more than a strikeout per inning and he has a 3.52 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. A clear edge on the mound for the Mets and if this current stretch is real over the last few days, these wins should continue. This is a soft landing for the Mets to get back on track. The price is reasonable. Give me the Mets.
