After losing game 1 of their 3-game set with the Colorado Rockies, the New York Mets bounced back yesterday and will go for a series win this afternoon in a matinée at Coors Field. The Mets expected starter, David Peterson, is a Colorado native so he will be extra motivated to deliver, and he has been doing just that. The southpaw is 5-1 with a 3.47 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. The Rockies are expected to counter with Austin Gomber, who comes in at 3-7 with a 4.66 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. New York has played well on the road with a record of 30-25, average more runs per game than Colorado, belt more homers, average more hits per game, and the Rockies are 0-4 in their last 4 games against a left-handed starter.
