Colorado at New York

The New York Mets have had a very disappointing and frustrating season. The injury list is lengthy and reads like a whose-who of fallen stars and the lineup has lost a lot of its potency. Johan Santana is a top of the rotation pitcher, but the Mets have turned in just a 4-6 record in his last ten starts and, because of a sputtering and depleted offense, two of those were by a single run, making the count 2-8 to a would be -1.5 runline. Jason Hammel for the Rockies was awful to start the season and the Rockies subsequently lost seven of his first eight starts. Hammel has done a much better job since and the Rockies, who are playing like a contender anyway, have been 9-3 in his last 12 starts. The three losses have been by a single run and the other two each by two runs. Certainly see a lot of value pointing to the runline here, and I will back the Rockies on the runline in this one.
