Colorado Rockies at New York Mets Prediction

Leading into Thursday’s matchup between Colorado and New York, the Mets are the heavy-betting favorites. Even though Ryan Feltner is coming off a good outing vs the Giants, I don’t see him replicating that performance vs a more dangerous Mets lineup. In addition, Jackob deGrom has come out of the gates strong after returning from his injury. I like the Mets on the runline.
