Mets vs Rockies MLB Free Pick
The Angle(s): Wednesday’s matchup at Coors Field produced 15 total runs, and I expect the ball to carry again in Thursday’s rematch. Mets right‑hander Christian Scott (0‑0, 4.26 ERA) has just 11 big‑league starts under his belt and is still finding his footing. In his two outings this season, he’s allowed three earned runs on only three hits but has issued five walks, a dangerous combo at altitude. Pitching at Coors can be tricky even for veterans, and left‑hander Jose Quintana (0‑1, 5.40 ERA at Coors this year, is now learning that first‑hand with Colorado.
With a hitter‑friendly environment, a green arm in Scott, and a vulnerable Quintana, the setup strongly favors another high‑scoring affair.
The Bet: OVER (3%).
Bet to: Over 11 -110
Consultant Bio
Magic Mike Moneymaker's experience as a professional poker player has proven to be an immeasurable asset in sports handicapping. He's a numbers guy, with a keen eye for spotting trends and stats that just don't jive with the odds offered by the bookmakers. All Mike's plays come with write ups backing up his selection, giving you a glimpse into his process of breaking down games.
Just as in cash game poker, the goal is not to win that giant pot once in a while, but to build your bankroll slowly and steadily by identifying +EV situations to exploit.
----Handicapping Methodology----
As a former online poker pro, Mike knows the value of creating systems and winning formulas through statistical analysis and math to use as a baseline, but much like poker, sports are played by human beings with emotions and feelings.
Identifying letdown spots, bounce-back spots and situational betting in general plays a big part in Mike's success in picking winners, but he's also not a stranger to locking in a bet based on stats and trends alone.
