Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets 5/5/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

The Colorado Rockies will go against the New York Mets in MLB action in Citi Field, NY, on Friday, May 5, 2023, at 7:10 PM ET.

It seemed for the whole of the game on Thursday afternoon that Colorado’s winning run wouldn’t make it to the East Coast. The Rockies were back in business after a seventh-inning four-run tie.

Following a fifth inning with five runs, the Brewers were hit with brooms. They now happily enter this weekend having won their last four games.

Denver did not have a terrific season overall, especially the pitching. With a 5.13 ERA after the Milwaukee series, Colorado’s staff had one of the poorest records in the league.

They are sixth in walk rate and in the bottom five for strikeout rate. They do, however, boast a bunch of relievers that rank seventh in WAR and HR/9.

Antonio Senzatela, who is starting for the first time this year, will start for the Rockies. Although his HR/9 was only 0/9, his H/9 was 13.0, which resulted in an ERA of 5.07.

Last year, he didn’t play against the Mets. He will be supported by an offense that, following their nine-run outburst on Thursday, scores 4.19 runs per game.

They aren’t taking advantage of the new regulations as other clubs are, only stealing seven bags out of ten times. At the plate, they have some of the lowest strikeout and walk rates in MLB.

But other than that, they only really get hits and doubles.

The total went UNDER in 9 of Colorado’s last 13 matches.
The Colorado Rockies are 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches.
The Colorado Rockies are 2-8 SU in their last 10 matches against NY Mets.

Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets Predictions 5/5/2023

Both Scherzer and Justin Verlander expected at least two victories in the series and both were expected to return. Instead, they were swept out of Michigan after losing the series finale 2-0.

Legendary Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander let up two home runs in the first inning before settling down and dominating the rest of the game.

The three relievers that came in after him each pitched three innings without allowing a run. But with just 3 hits and one walk, the offense utterly failed for the second game in a row.

Through 32 matches, this championship-bound team has a record of 16-16.

Not scoring was the main issue amid this sluggish start. They are effectively utilizing the new regulations while averaging a modest 4.41 runs per game.

The Mets stole 26 bases before this series and had only been caught five times.

Together with Pete Alonso’s 11 home runs and 28 RBIs in the middle of the order, they rank among the best lineups in terms of walk rate and strikeout rate.

The NY Mets are 1-5 SU in their last 6 matches.
The total went UNDER in 4 of the NY Mets’ last 5 matches against Colorado.
The total went UNDER in 7 of the NY Mets’ last 9 matches at home.

Colorado Rockies vs New York Mets. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. Since Antonio Senzatela did not pitch this year, it’s hard to predict how well he’ll recover from a difficult season.

A difficult offensive stands in his way, but it is struggling. However, they are outperforming Colorado’s lineup this year and are unlikely to have another bad game against a weak pitching staff.

Kodai Senga won in 80% of the starts he made in the main league, and he should continue to do so against a side that frequently plays substantially worse away from home.

Rock with the Mets for a narrow victory in this game. The New York Mets will win to a predicted score of 6-4
