Clay Holmes has been a revelation for the Mets in his year in Queens. He has transitioned from a bullpen/closer role right into the starting rotation. He’s averaging just under 5 strikeouts per start this year but is Under this line in 6/8 starts. This is a great bounce back spot for Holmes in the strikeout department. He only threw 85 pitches in his last start, so manager Carlos Mendoza should allow Holmes to get into the mid 90s and maybe even 100 pitches tonight. Also, while Holmes only struck out 3 Rockies at Citi Field in his last start, the Rockies strikeout A LOT. They rank 29/30 in terms of MOST STRIKEOUTS PER GAME, in front of only the Angels. The Rockies strikeout A TON. Prime bounce back spot for Clay Holmes. The Mets need length from their starter tonight, and his pitching outs line is set at 17.5 so Sportsbooks expect Holmes to stick around for a while in this game.
