Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Rockies have lost their last five games and are seeking another win to move into double digits for the year in the win column. Their last battle was a 2-1 performance against the Chicago Cubs.
Kyle Freeland (0-7) will be their starting pitcher and currently has an ERA of 5.86 and a WHIP at 1.68 through 55.1 innings pitched so far this season. The Rockies offer an ERA of 5.55 and a WHIP at 1.60, so Freeland might be just as good as it gets when his relief comes in later.
Colorado has a .218 batting average and is allowing their opponents to get .296. This separation between the two averages is one of the worst in the league, which shows they generally allow their opponents to have more scoring opportunities.
The Rockies have scored 2.00 runs a game over their last five battles. However, their defense has been atrocious in allowing 5.40 runs a game during this span. At this rate, it is difficult to have faith in this team.
New York Mets Betting Preview
The Mets are coming off a 9-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox, which snapped their four-game win streak. They are a couple of games back from first in the NL East, so this series should help give them the boost they need.
David Peterson (3-2) is getting the start on the mound, and currently offers a 2.79 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP through 58.0 innings pitched. The Mets have collectively put up a 2.87 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP, which shows Peterson is right in line with their success on defense.
New York typically posts a .245 batting average and allows the defense to get just .227. This separation will likely be greater as the Rockies struggle behind the plate and have issues from the mound. In addition, Peterson should provide a great defensive start for the Mets.
The Mets have accumulated 4.00 runs a game in their last five battles. Defensively, they have allowed 3.40 runs a game from opposing teams in this stretch. This does not offer a lot of breathing room, but the recent 9-4 loss inflated the numbers a bit to make it closer than it really is.
