MLB Pick
- Under 11.5 (-110) at Bet365 (check our Bet365 Review)
New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies
Wednesday, August 07, 2024 – 08:40 PM ET at Coors Field
The AI Model believes the Mets and Rockies will combine for only 10.5 runs. With Bet365 carrying an 11.5 as the total, we’ll back the Under in this matchup.
Another Start For Paul Blackburn
New York acquired Paul Blackburn at the MLB Trade Deadline for depth in the rotation. He’s a right-handed pitcher who has allowed a .175 ISO and a wOBA of .350. Over the last month, he’s allowed plenty of fly balls. However, this season, he’s been much more of a ground ball pitcher.
New York is totally working on earning more ground balls with Blackburn. It’ll come.
New York’s Offense Has Started To Decline
For a couple of months, the Mets were the hottest offense in the MLB. It’s not like that anymore.
The Mets have struck out nearly 25% of the time against righties in the last month. They’ve also hit average numbers against righties, like a .172 ISO and wOBA of .328 over the past 30 days.
Don’t expect a ton of offense from the Mets against Ryan Feltner. Feltner is typically good against lefties and limits walks against righties, which will limit the damage.
The Pick
Consider the Under 11.5 between the Mets and Rockies, even with the game in Coors Field.
