This will be the second start of the season for deGrom (0-1, 0.64 ERA), who held the Miami Marlins to one run over eight innings and struck out 14 but took the hard-luck 3-0 loss on April 10.
He has faced Colorado seven previous times in his career -- all starts -- and is 4-1 with a 1.25 ERA in those matchups. Two of those starts came at Coors Field, where he is 1-1 with a 2.51 ERA.
Gonzalez (1-0, 3.60 ERA) is making his second start and fourth appearance of the season. Gonzalez has never faced the Mets.
Colorado is a +235 home dog in Game 1 with a total of 7 and the line is similar in Game 2 with a total of 9.5.
