My Prediction
New York Mets by 3Well, isn't this a riveting match up? Between the Rockies and the Mets, baseball does never dare to disappoint, does it?
Let's take a peek at our primary arms for the day, shall we? Starting off for the Rockies is Antonio Senzatela, who's been sporting quite the inflated ERA of 6.76. This season, he's averaged around 2.02 walks and hits per inning and just about 5 batters hit the showers per nine. Oh dear, should've brought a book for the long walks back to the dugout, eh?
On the opposite mound, we have the Mets' Kodai Senga, boasting a dazzling 1.65 ERA. He's managed to keep his WHIP at 1.28 and has been sending about 8.6 batters back to the dugout every nine innings. In comparison to Senzatela, Senga's putting up some enviable numbers. If it were a beauty contest, folks, we've got a clear winner there.
Looking at the offense now - it's a bit of a mixed bag for the Rockies. Standouts include Ezequiel Tovar, doing alright with a .333 batting average and Hunter Goodman swatting in 17 runs this season. Of course, let's not forget Ryan McMahon who's smeared across four dingers.
For the Mets, it's a similar story. Brett Baty's been an RBI machine with 13 this month, and the incomparable Francisco Lindor swiped a whopping seven bases. What a menace on those basepaths, my friends!
The previous matchups between these teams flashback joyful memories for the Mets more than the Rockies, with the Mets coming out on top on 3 out of 5 occasions. Then again, if we consider that the Mets have been enjoying their games in the friendly confines of Citi Field with its flattering park factor, it might explain these results.
The Rockies seem to be climbing a rough slope in this season with an abysmal record of 9-48, whereas the Mets have been flying higher with 35 wins and 22 losses.
Considering recent results, the Rockies have been tumbling down like a landslide while the Mets have been... well, just "meting" those runs out. I'd say the Mets have a decent upper hand here.
Without a single hint of enthusiasm, ladies and gentlemen, these are the facts. Unfortunately for anyone hoping for a Rocky turnaround, it's looking like a clear cut for one team. And so, on that note:
