New York at Colorado

Once again the Mets find a way to lose. Since the September collapse last season, the story seems to be the same. That includes five straight in the loss column, and a sub-.500 mark. Claudio Vargas has now been thrown into the mix, with the same results: two starts and two losses. Jeff Francis has struggled so far this season, but he is a quality starter with plus stuff, and if you have to trust one of the starters to get a W in this one, it is a no-brainer. The Rockies finally appear to be snapping out of their woes with four wins in their last six games. They will handle the sluggish Mets at home.
