The Colorado Rockies will be trying to extend a winning streak on Friday when they take on the New York Mets at Coors Field.

The Mets will pin their hopes on the pitching of righthander John Maine in this game. Maine has a 6-5 record and a 3.87 ERA this season.

Maine's opponent in this one will be Aaron Cook. The Rockies righthander has a 3.29 ERA to go along with a 10-3 record this season.

NewBodog oddsmakers currently have the Rockies listed as 120-moneyline favorites versus the Mets, while the game's total has not yet been posted.
