Free MLB Pick

I’m willing to take a shot on the Rockies today. The Mets are a bankroll crushing 7-13 against left-handed pitching this season, and Colorado starter Austin Gomber isn’t as bad as his numbers would suggest. He’s allowed three or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, including getting the QS in three. He faced the Mets back on May 6th, picking up one of those quality starts which is something that he has done in all three of his career starts against the NYM. Tylor Megill gets the ball for the Mets and he’s been pitching adequately this season, but can have trouble with the long ball and that’s not the type of pitcher to back making his first start at Coors Field. Take Colorado +133.
