(MLB) Colorado vs. NY Mets,
Money Line: -173.00 NY Mets (Home)
Result: Win
Rookie Jacob deGrom toes the rubber in the second game of this three game set for the Mets tonight. deGrom should have four more chances to improve his NL Rookie of the Year candidacy. The first of them will come against the Rockies, whom he has never faced. The right-hander is 4-3 with a 1.68 ERA in eight starts at Citi Field. His numbers speak for themselves, his ERA remains below 3.00, he has a 1.20 WHIP and a 112/39 K/BB ratio as well. The Mets snapped the Rockies four game winning streak yesterday, dropping them to just 20-50 in road contests this season. Conversely, the Mets have won seven of ten and will be highly motivated with a slim shot at a wild card still alive. Lay the price and take the NY Mets here on Tuesday night.
