Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Prediction: Rockies to boast of a good start

This Saturday's Major League Baseball action at Coors Field features a matchup between the New York Mets and the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies have scored at least four runs in five of their previous eight games, including a total of 14 runs in their most recent three games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Rockies have won eight of their last ten contests. Elias Diaz has a team-high 50 hits and is in first place for the Rockies in RBI with 26, while Kris Bryant and Charlie Blackmon have combined for 94 hits and 35 RBI. The Rockies have a record of 4-1 in their last 5 games played at home, but they have a record of 0-7 in their previous 7 games played on Friday. The over has cashed in in 5 of the previous 3 matches for the Rockies in their last 8 games, total.

The New York Mets have scored at least four runs in five of their previous ten games, including a total of 14 runs in their most recent three games. The Mets have won their last four games when scoring four runs or more in each contest. Jeff McNeil and Francisco Lindor have combined for 98 hits and 50 RBI for the Indians, while Brandon Nimmo leads the Mets with 58 hits and leads the team in RBI with 21. The Mets have a record of 6-1 in their last 7 games played on Friday and a record of 1-4 in their last 5 games played against teams from the National League West. In the Mets' last eight games played away from home, the under is 5-2-1.

With Max Scherzer starting for the Mets, New York is a prohibitive favorite. Through 31.2 innings, Connor Seabold has likewise struggled. Let's not pretend Scherzer has been his typical CY, however. However, it is worth taking a gamble with nearly twice the money in a place like Coors, where strange things happen, looking at how well they have played against New York lately.
