The Colorado Rockies are red hot and recorded their eighth win in nine games when they defeated the New York Mets 6-1 last night. The reeling Mets have dropped three straight but they look good to get back on track with a win in Saturday's contest.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Mets hand the ball to Bartolo Colón (9-5, 3.35). The 43 year old handcuffed the Cardinals through seven innings last start, surrendering just one run on three hits. He's 4-2 with a 3.25 ERA in 10 starts home at Citi Field this season. The Rockies counter with Jorge De La Rosa (6-7, 5.70 ERA) who is 2-4 with a 5.74 ERA in eight road starts this season.
2. The Relievers - Colorado's bullpen has the second worst ERA in the National League with a 4.76 mark. The Mets' have the third most effective in the league holding a 3.19 ERA.
3. X-Factor - New York's James Loney is 8-for-18 with a home runs and seven RBIs in previous meetings with De La Rosa.
Selection: This is a play on the New York Mets (10*)
