Randy’s Pick

The New York Mets are going to be big favorites for obvious reasons with Max Scherzer on the mound. Connor Seabold also hasn't been great through 31.2 innings. However, let's not act like Scherzer has been his usual CY Young worth self and this price on the road in a place like Coors where weird things happen, you can talk me into taking a shot in the dark at nearly two times my money. I'll cover my eyes and side with the Rockies.
