New York Mets at Colorado Rockies Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Mets at Colorado Rockies Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (26-14) meet the Colorado Rockies (18-19) Saturday in the second game of a doubleheader stemming from a Friday rainout of the scheduled series opener. First pitch at Coors Field is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

(Team records and stats are through Friday – pre doubleheader).

New York is 6-4 in the last 10 games and won its previous series 3-1 at home vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.

Colorado snapped a 3-game losing skid with a 5-3 home win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday. The Rockies are 2-8 in their last 10.

Mets at Rockies projected starters

RHP Trevor Williams vs. undecided

Williams is 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA (15 IP, 7 ER), 20 H, 1 HR, 2 BB and 15 K across 2 starts.

  • Last start: No-decision in N.Y.’s 3-1 home win over the Cardinals Tuesday with 4-scoreless IP, 4 H, 0 BB and 6 K.

LHP Austin Gomber (2-3, 4.38 ERA) was originally scheduled to start the nightcap, but the Rockies decided to give him an extra day of rest and he’ll start Sunday’s series finale.

Colorado, which hasn’t announced their new starter for the second game of the doubleheader as of this publishing, will likely rely heavily on its bullpen, starting with an opener.

Mets at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 6, Rockies 3

Money line

BET METS (-125) because they have a 3-phase edge over the Rockies.

New York’s bullpen is 8th in FIP (3.49) and Colorado’s bullpen ranks 28th (4.28), according to FanGraphs. The Mets’ lineup is 5th in wRC+ (113) and 6th in WAR (7.4), while the Rockies are 15th in wRC+ (99) and 23rd in WAR (2.6).

Williams grades in the 87th percentile or better in barrel rate (97%), BB% (95%), expected ERA (87%) and expected wOBA (87%), per Statcast.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

New York -1.5 (+125) isn’t a steep enough payout considering Colorado is better at home. The Rockies are 13-9 at home compared to 5-10 on the road. They are also 6-3 ATS as home underdogs.

Over/Under

Slight LEAN to the UNDER 10.5 (-122).

Colorado’s struggles against right-handed pitching and the weather forecast is predicting temperatures in the low-40s. Typically cold weather favors pitching.

However, neither team will be starting a “top-of-the-rotation” pitcher and Coors Field is a notoriously hitter-friendly ballpark.

New York Mets at Colorado Rockies, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s New York Mets at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (26-14) open a 3-game road series Friday against the Colorado Rockies (18-19). First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m ET at Coors Field. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

This is the first matchup of the year between the two teams.

The Mets are coming off a 7-game homestand in which they went 4-3 but they took 3 of 4 games from the St. Louis Cardinals. New York is on a modest 2 game win streak.

The Rockies are in the 7th game of a 9-game homestand. They are 2-4 through the first 6 contests but are coming off a 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants Thursday.

Mets at Rockies projected starters

RHP Carlos Carrasco vs. RHP German Marquez

Carrasco (3-1, 3.73 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.12 WHIP, 1.5 BB/9 and 7.7 K/9 through 41 IP.

  • Took a no-decision in an 8-7 loss with 4 earned runs on 8 hits in 4 1/3 innings against the Seattle Mariners Sunday in his last start.
  • This will be Carrasco’s first career appearance against the Rockies despite being in the league since 2009.

Marquez (1-3, 6.16 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.53 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 through 38 IP.

  • Marquez’ first start of the year was a 7-inning gem with 1 earned run on 3 hits, but he has allowed at least 3 earned runs in every start since.
  • Is 3-1 with a 3.48 ERA over 31 innings with 2 complete games in 5 career starts against the Mets.

Mets at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 6, Mets 5

Money line

The Mets are 13-6 on the road this season and have the most road wins in the National League. They are only 1-2 on the road when Carrasco starts.

Carrasco might struggle to adjust to the thin Denver air with no experience at Coors Field. He already has a 6.19 road ERA this season.

The Rockies are 13-9 at home despite having lost 4 of their last 6 games there. Only 2 teams in MLB have more home wins.

This is the scenario I love: the Rockies are almost always the underdog, even though they play well at home. That gives them a lot of positive odds like tonight. Take advantage.

Take the ROCKIES (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

The Mets are 22-18 ATS overall and 13-6 ATS on the road. They have, though only covered the spread in 3 of their last 9 games.

The Rockies are 6-3 ATS as home underdogs.

This isn’t as much of a moneymaker as the money line, but the odds are still good. Take the ROCKIES +1.5 (-140).

Over/Under

Five of the 6 games in the Rockies’ current homestand have had double-digit runs. Only Thursday’s game had fewer than 10.

Three of the Mets’ last 5 games have had double-digit runs.

Five of Marquez’ 7 starts have had totals of 10 or more runs.

Take OVER 9.5 (-125).

New York Mets at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New York Mets at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (5-3) play the Colorado Rockies (3-10) in a seven-inning doubleheader Saturday at Coors Field to make up for yesterday’s rainout. Game 1’s first pitch is scheduled for 5:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Mets swept the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 this week, outscoring them 13-4 and have won four of their past five games.

The Rockies are on a six-game losing streak after getting swept by two divisional foes in the San Francisco Giants last weekend followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

RHP Jacob deGrom is on the mound for the Mets. deGrom is 0-1 with 0.64 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, 13.5 K/9 and 1.3 BB/9 over 3 starts.

  • Last outing: Loss in 8 IP with 1 ER, 5 H, 0 BB, 14 K’s in the Miami Marlins’ 3-0 win over New York last weekend.
  • Career at Coors Field: 1-0 with a 2.51 ERA (14 1/3 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 4 BB, 10 K) in 2 starts.

RHP Chi Chi González gets the start for Colorado. González is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 4.5 K/9 and 5.4 BB/9.

  • Last outing: No-decision in 5 IP with 1 ER, 4 H, 6 BB and 5 K in the Rockies’ 4-3 loss to the Giants last Saturday.
  • Career vs. Mets: No appearances.

  • Money line: Mets -300 (bet $300 to win $100) | Rockies +240 (bet $100 to win $240)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mets -2.5 (+105) | Rockies +2.5 (-130)
  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Mets 7, Rockies 1

Money line (ML)

PASS because New York is the right side, but the Mets (-300) is too rich for my blood.

If you follow baseball at all, you know one of the worst jokes in the MLB is deGrom’s record.

This should be deGrom’s first win, and there are better spots to bet on the MLB slate than fading the two-time Cy Young winner.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the METS -2.5 (+105) for a half-unit because New York’s hitters have let deGrom down most of his career, and this bet is very square.

However, the Mets are stacked with quality left-handed hitters and vs. González, lefties’ wOBA is 37 percentage points higher, and González has a 1.72 WHIP vs. lefties (1.25 WHIP vs. righties).

Also, this Rockies lineup has been shut down by deGrom. Current Colorado hitters are slashing .146/.212/.208 with no home runs and two RBIs in 48 at-bats vs. deGrom.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 6.5 (-120) for a quarter-unit, but wait until closer to first pitch before making this bet because the market is barreling into the Under right now.

The argument for the Under is simple: deGrom plus the Mets only scoring more than five runs in just one game this year.

But, I like New York’s chances in the batter’s box today vs. González and Colorado’s bullpen has the second-highest ERA and the highest WHIP.

New York Mets at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s New York Mets at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (5-3) visit the Colorado Rockies (3-10) for a three-game weekend set beginning with an 8:40 p.m. ET first pitch at Coors Field Friday. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Mets vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Jacob deGrom gets the nod for the Mets after his scheduled start Thursday was postponed by rain. The two-time Cy Young winner is 0-1 but with a 0.64 ERA and 0.71 WHIP through two starts. He has a 13.5 K/9 and 1.3 BB/9 over 14 innings and has allowed just one solo home run.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is the projected starter for the Rockies. The 29-year-old swingman is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 4.5 K/9 and 5.4 BB/9 through 10 innings across one start and two relief appearances. He has a 5.24 ERA over 44 2/3 innings pitched at Coors Field in his career.

  • Money line: Mets -275 (bet $275 to win $100) | Rockies +220 (bet $100 to win $220)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Mets -2.5 (-110) |  Rockies +2.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 9.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Mets 5, Rockies 2

Money line (ML)

The Rockies were dealt some bad luck with deGrom being pushed back to this series opener instead of pitching the would-be finale of the Mets’ previous series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

He has a career 2.32 ERA and 11.2 K/9 across 32 starts when pitching on six or more days of rest. He has also been excellent two starts in the tough pitching conditions of Coors Field with a 2.51 ERA and just 1 home run allowed over 14 1/3 innings.

The Mets would be the pick with their ace on the hill but not at this chalky price. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Back the METS -2.5 (-110) on the run line even with them laying 2 runs and needing to win by 3 or more.

New York just won three straight against the Phillies by an aggregate score of 13-4. Colorado dropped six straight decisions coming into Friday.

The Mets hit much better against right-handed pitching than the Rockies with a team OPS of .753 to Colorado’s .622 team rate.

Over/Under (O/U)

Stay in line with deGrom and back the UNDER 9.5 (-105).

He threw just 77 and 95 pitches in his first two outings of the season and will work on extra rest Friday. He’ll shut down the Rockies’ production with the only concern for the Over being with the Mets tacking on too many extra runs against Colorado’s 29th-ranked bullpen ERA of 5.84.
