Colorado Rockies continues two city East Coast swing against New York Mets on Thursday
The Colorado Rockies is opening up a four game series against the New York Mets on Thursday. The New York Mets are now seven games over .500 and in the run for a NL Wildcard spot. The matchup between the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets will take place on Thursday, July 28, 2016, at 1:10 p.m. ET at Citi Field. The ballgame will be broadast on SportsNet New York and ROOT Sports Rocky Mountains.
The Colorado Rockies are just a few games under .500 every month and are an even 10-10 in July. They are a little above .500 at home and below on the road. The Rockies offense comes from the bats of shortstop Trevor Story and third baseman Nolan Arrenado. The Colorado Rockies offense is scoring just 4.14 runs per game on the road and 6.18 runs per game at home. The Rockies will be sending the 26-year old southpaw Tyler Anderson to the mound for this ballgame. Anderson has 48 innings over eight starts with a 3-3 record and a 3.56 ERA. The Rockies have won his last three starts. He has done well in Coors Field and has pitched slightly better at home than on the road. He has a 0-2 record on the road with a 3.86 ERA in 11 2/3 innings.
The New York Mets have been up and down this season. The Mets offense has injuries right now is a bit of a question. The rotation has been hurt with a season ending surgery for Matt Harvey and bone spur issues for both Noah Syndergaard and Steven Matz. The Mets will be sending the 28-year old right-hander Jacob deGrom to the mound for this ballgame. This season deGrom has 17 starts with a 6-5 record and a 2.73 ERA. He pitches better at home with a 4-2 record and a 2.45 ERA in nine starts. The only time deGrom pitched against the Rockies was back in May. He pitched in Coors Field, and allowed three runs in six and a third innings. Top Sports Blog is looking for the game to be close through the first five or six innings. We will give the edge to the Mets, because they have the stronger bullpen.
