The Rockies have lost the first 2 games of this 4-game series and they are the Big betting underdog tonight in the Big Apple. Colorado is in the basement of the NL West 15 games back of the L.A. Dodgers.

The Mets had lost 2 straight games before winning the first 2 of this series and they have been hot the last couple of weeks. They are in first place in the NL East with a 2.5 game lead over the Washington Nationals.

Colorado Rockies

It is the same old song and dance for the Rockies, who have a solid offense ranking 4th in the Majors in runs scored, but they have the worst team ERA in baseball.

New York has won their last 6 games facing Colorado and their last 8 facing them at home.

While the Rockies pitching has been less than stellar this season the Mets rank 2nd in the Majors in team ERA and they need pitching to win, as they only rank 29th in runs scored.

New York Mets

With the Cubs and the Pirates in the lead in the Wild Card race and having better records than New York winning the East may be the Mets best chance at making the post-season.

The Mets have won 5 straight home games and in that span they have an ERA of only 1.31.

De La Rosa is 1-0 with a 3.55 ERA over his last 2 starts and 5-1 with a 3.94 ERA in his last 6 games. He has won both of his games against the Mets in New York, but the last one came in the 2011 season.

The Rockies are 6-2 in De La Rosa’s last 8 starts as a road underdog.

Jacob deGrom goes for the Mets tonight and while he ranks 2nd in the NL in ERA he has only won 2 of his last 5 starts. In that span he has an ERA of only 1.59, but has not gotten much run support.

This season at home deGrom is 5-2 with a 1.60 ERA and 9.37 strikeouts per 9 innings in 11 starts. However, in his last 5 home starts he is 0-1 and his offense has only given him a total of 10 runs of support.

The Rockies have lost 14 of their last 19 road games.
