Colorado Rockies vs. New York Mets Prediction: Can We Expect a Low-Scoring Game 2 in This Doubleheader?

The New York Mets and Colorado Rockies postponed yesterday's game due to snow. Yes, it's late May and we're postponing games for snow. Fun stuff. The weather isn't much better today. There might be rain in the forecast and it's still going to be cold out. After already playing one game, players are going to be cold, tired, and likely will be unable to hit the baseball without hurting their hands.

With those expectations, here are our picks, predictions, and odds for Saturday's night game between the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets.

Colorado Rockies vs. New York Mets Prediction

The Mets will send out right-hander Trevor Williams, who has replaced Tylor Megill for the time being. Megill is out with an injury at this time. Williams is 0-2 with a 4.20 ERA to start the season. He's mainly come out of the bullpen but started in his last appearance against the Cardinals. In the last 30 days, Williams has had a 3.48 xFIP with 24.6% of strikeouts along with 3.5% of walks. Williams has actually pitched 7.2 innings of scoreless baseball in his last two appearances. The Rockies' projected lineup has a .170 ISO and wOBA of .324 but are hitting plenty of ground balls. In the last 30 days, the Rockies have hit 49.3% of ground balls as a projected unit and hit just over 19% of line drives. That's not all that appealing. Meanwhile, it'll be left-hander Austin Gomber for the Rockies. The left-hander might be 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA, but in the last 30 days, Gomber has had an xFIP of 3.88. He’s struck out 23% of batters and has induced 52.5% of ground balls. In reality, Gomber has been excellent in the last 30 days in a lot of areas. Plus, he's taking on a Mets lineup that hasn't been all that great against lefties. In the last 30 days, the Mets projected lineup has a .163 ISO and wOBA of .278 against lefties. Without Brandon Nimmo, those averages would be even worse. In cold conditions, in the second game of a doubleheader, I'll grab the under 10 in this matchup.
