Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Prediction: Both teams are not in consistent form

On Sunday, MLB action moves to Coors Field for a matchup between the New York Mets and the Colorado Rockies. This is the third and final game of a weekend series. The Mets won their first game on Friday by a score of 3-0, and the Rockies won their rematch on Saturday by the same margin.

On Friday, the Rockies had more hits than the Mets (eight to seven), but they were unable to get much going on the scoreboard. On Saturday, Colorado won the game by defeating New York thanks to a 14-12 advantage in hits. Chase Anderson, the starting pitcher, was responsible for five innings, one earned run, four hits, and one walk. The over has a winning record of 6-2 in the Rockies' previous eight games in game three of a series, while the Rockies themselves have a winning record of 6-2 in their last eight games in game three of a series. The total has gone over in four of Colorado's last five games played on Sunday.

Friday's game resulted in a victory for the Mets by a score of 5-2, with both the first and fifth innings contributing two runs each. On Saturday, New York battled back from being down 6-1 and maintained a lead for a little while in a game that they ultimately lost 10-7. As the starting pitcher, Justin Verlander was responsible for six earned runs, nine hits, and one walk across five innings. The Mets have a record of 39-17 in the last 56 games they've played in the third game of a series, but in their last 10 matchups against left-handed starters, they have a record of 2-8. In the last five games overall, New York Mets has a record of 3-1-1 when the over is bet.

I think I'll wager on the Mets in this one. Megill's last start at Wrigley Field was a loss, and he only lasted 3.2 innings while allowing four earned runs. Megill, on the other hand, had a 2-0 record in his previous two starts despite allowing three runs on eight hits and five walks in 11.0 innings. The Mets' pitching wasn't outstanding on Saturday, but their offense was effective. I think New York has an excellent chance of winning if they can keep that up.
