The Rockies recently won their first series of the season against the Marlins, marking a significant improvement in their pitching performance. Some players, such as Ryan McMahon and Ezequiel Tovar, have had notable individual performances, while others like Brenton Doyle have been struggling. Overall, the Rockies have a power ranking of 29 due to their low offensive and defensive ratings, but they recently defeated the New York Mets in their last three matchups.

Mets Continue Winning Streak, Rockies Face Tough Challenge

The New York Mets have demonstrated strong performance recently, securing victories in six of their last eight games, including two wins against the Dodgers on the road. The Colorado Rockies have also shown improvement with a recent sweep against the Marlins, yet the Mets remain a formidable opponent. In their previous matchup, the Rockies were unable to overcome the Mets' dominance, resulting in a sweep. Mets pitcher Clay Holmes has been consistent, allowing two or fewer runs in three of his last five outings. In contrast, Rockies pitcher Carson Palmquist struggled against the Mets last week, giving up four runs in 4.2 innings and maintaining an 8.50 ERA for the season. Considering the Rockies' tendency to lose by two or more runs in most recent home defeats, it is advisable to consider the run line for this matchup.
