The Colorado Rockies will host the New York Mets tonight in a National League game in Major League Baseball. This is game three of the four game series with each team winning one of the first two games. First pitch is scheduled for 7:40pm Central Standard Time and the game can be seen on National Television on the Direct TV MLB Extra Innings Package. It will take place at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The Rockies are slight favorites at -111 and the over/under is 11 runs.
The New York Mets enter tonight’s game after a tough 10-8 loss on Tuesday night. Mets starting pitcher Jason Vargas got destroyed by the Rockies hitters. He gave up 9 hits and 7 earned runs in just 2.1 innings. The Mets did rally back and make the game close by scoring 6 late runs but they still fell short.
Tonight they will send one of their best pitchers, Seth Lugo, to the mound. He is 2-2 on the year and has some impressive numbers with an ERA of just 2.49 and one of the best WHIP’s in the MLB at .95. But he will need some run support from his offense that is only 28th in the MLB in hitting.
The Colorado Rockies are feeling good after their offensive explosion last night and are looking for more of the same tonight. They are now up to 8th in the MLB in runs scored and their bats are heating up as the warm thin air in Colorado is great for hitting.
They will give the ball to starting pitcher Chad Bettis tonight. He has a great record at 5-1 but his ERA is a bit high at 4.65. Bettis does have a solid WHIP of 1.29 and has shown some really good streaks of great pitching.
The fact that the over/under is so high tonight at 11 runs means the experts in Las Vegas expect plenty of fireworks at the plate by both teams. It should be a fun one to watch and whoever can hit more long balls should be celebrating at the end of the night.
