The New York Mets and the Colorado Rockies will play the rubber game of their 3-game set this afternoon at Citi Field. New York has the talent to be a legitimate World Series contender but have not been playing like one. They are 17-17 overall, 7-7 at home, and have had trouble scoring runs. That will change. Colorado has been playing well but despite yesterday’s 5-2 victory they are still just 6-12 on the road. Today’s expected starters are lefty Joey Lucchesi (1-0, 3.89 ERA, 1.10 WHIP) for New York and Ryan Feltner (2-2, 4.45 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) for Colorado. The Mets are 9-3 in the last 12 meetings overall with the Rockies, 7-2 in the last 9 against Colorado in Queens, and they have the best skipper in the business, Buck Showalter. He will have his boys ready today.
