Mets at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rockies 6, Mets 5
Moneyline
The Mets are 15-17 on the road this season and they have lost 3 of 5 games against the Rockies this season.
Megill’s last start was the worst of the season while Gomber has bounced back nicely in his last 6 starts after losing his first 4.
The Rockies have found their mojo at home again after a rough start, going 7-3 in their last 10 after a 7-11 start.
BET ROCKIES (+120).
Run line/Against the spread
The Mets are 19-34 ATS overall this season, the 2nd-worst mark in the majors. They are 4-20 ATS in their last 24 games.
But the Rockies have not covered the spread while losing since May 5 (against the Mets) and have only 4 losses in which they covered the spread. If you like the Rockies to cover, you can generally count on them to win outright.
