<p>The <strong>New York Mets</strong> are stepping up to the plate against the <strong>Colorado Rockies</strong> in what promises to be an exciting encounter. Can the Mets keep up the momentum from their solid performance yesterday? Let&#8217;s dive into the details.</p>
<p>On the mound for New York, we have <strong>Max Scherzer</strong>, a well-known name in the world of baseball. But don&#8217;t let his reputation fool you – he hasn&#8217;t been in the best of form this season. Despite this, there&#8217;s been a glimmer of hope as he&#8217;s shown signs of recovery recently. However, his <strong>4.64 xFIP</strong> over the last <strong>30 days</strong> is slightly high, and his <strong>K rate sits at 23%</strong>. His splits against batters aren&#8217;t too bad, holding a <strong>.306 weighted on-base percentage</strong> <strong>against lefties</strong> and a <strong>.280 against righties</strong>. It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how he fares today against the Rockies&#8217; lineup in Mile High.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Rockies are putting their faith in <strong>Connor Seabold</strong>, who&#8217;s been having a rough season so far. His <strong>5.60 xFIP</strong> over the last 30 days and a <strong>K rate of 15%</strong> do raise some concerns. The splits are even more worrying, with <strong>lefties</strong> boasting a <strong>.356 weighted on-base percentage</strong> and <strong>righties</strong> an even higher <strong>.438</strong>. This could spell good news for the Mets&#8217; bats, who have been somewhat quiet this month.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Scherzer&#8217;s performance seems to vary greatly depending on where he&#8217;s playing. His home game stats are impressive, with <strong>no earned runs</strong> in <strong>two starts</strong>. On the road, however, his<strong> ERA</strong> is hovering around <strong>6.00</strong>. Now he&#8217;s heading into Coors Field as a <strong>-210 favorite</strong>. The big question is, can he uphold his name value in practice?</p>
<p>Even with the <strong>total</strong> set at <strong>11.5</strong>, there&#8217;s still reason to believe the Rockies could step up at home and push this game <strong>over</strong>. </p>

Is Max Scherzer getting too much respect for his name value rather than his play this season? The Rockies could test the Mets' starter tonight at hitter-friendly Coors.
