New York Starting Pitcher – Chris Capuano
The Mets send Chris Capuano to the mound on Monday. He was a hard luck loser last time out against the Giants even though he pitched well. Capuano hasn’t done much this season with a 2-3 record and a 5.40 ERA but he has been a little better in his last three starts with a 1-2 record and a 3.32 ERA. He is 4-4 in his career against the Rockies with a 3.79 ERA.
Colorado Starting Pitcher – Jhoulys Chacin
With Jimenez struggling, Chacin has been a big key to Colorado being in first place in the National League West. He is 4-2 on the season with a 2.85 ERA and gamblers who bet on MLB are taking notice. Chacin has only thrown one inning in his career against the Mets and didn’t give up a run while striking out one.
Mets 7-8 on the Road
New York is trying to keep their head above water and they have been competitive on the road. This is not a good matchup for New York though. They are 17-35 in their last 52 Monday games. The Mets are 6-15 in their last 21 games vs. a right-handed starter.
