Trends
Colorado is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 28-65 in their last 93 road games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 Saturday games. New York is 3-9 in their last 12 games overall and 0-4 in their last 4 games against a team with a left-handed starter while the under is 8-2 in their last 10 home games.
Pick
I’m rolling with the over here. I just don’t trust the starting pitching matchup of Gomber and Megill, as I’ve watched both of these guys give up their fair share of runs this season and while Colorado is a different team on the road, they still have a decent amount of pop in their bats and as for the Mets, well, they should be able to get to Gomber early and often here and I expect that to be the case throughout. I look for the over to cash with ease here.
