My Prediction
New York Mets by 3Alright sports enthusiasts, let's take a stroll through this matchup, shall we? We have the New York Mets taking on the Colorado Rockies at the infamous Coors Field in Denver, also known as paradise for batters and a living nightmare for hurlers.
Straight off the bat, the Mets are armed with a secret weapon in Tylor Megill on the mound, who has been throwing smoke this season with a decent 3.94 ERA and a K/9 that makes batters sleep with the lights on. In the other dugout, we've got Chase Dollander of the Rockies, who's having a bit of a rough go of it with his 6.56 ERA. One might say he's the warm welcome committee for opposing lineups.
Turning our attention to the batting box, the Mets line-up is a hitters buffet with Marte, Lindor, and Alonso. They're all doing their part to keep the scoreboard lit up. For the Rockies, it appears Freeman, Goodman and Beck are doing what they can to keep the Rockies afloat, but it seems to be an uphill climb.
Now let's not forget about past encounters. The Mets have been playing 'whack a rock' and won the last five straight games. In terms of regular season records, the Mets are looking like world-beaters at 41-24, while the Rockies are a bit of a sad trombone sound effect at 12-52.
In recent affairs, the Mets have shown their mettle while the Rockies, though they've put up a fight, often find themselves on the short end of the stick.
Keeping all of this in consideration, put on your surprise faces, folks:
