The Story
The Colorado Rockies defeated the New York Mets 10-7 at Coors Field on May 27, 2023, in a game that swung decisively toward the home side after a brief Mets resurgence in the middle innings. The DiamondIQ model opened with Colorado holding a 46 percent pre-game win probability, a figure that climbed steadily before reaching 100 percent by the final out. The game's central tension came in back-to-back innings: Francisco Alvarez hit a home run off Jake Bird in the top of the sixth, the single most impactful offensive play of the game at plus-31.6 percent win probability, pulling New York within striking distance and momentarily threatening Colorado's grip. But Ryan McMahon answered in the bottom of the seventh with a home run off Jeff Brigham worth plus-22.4 percent win probability, restoring Colorado's cushion just as quickly as the Mets had narrowed it.
Colorado's offensive production was spread across several contributors, but Elias Díaz led all batters with a plus-23.9 percent WPA and a 0.9 RE24, while Alvarez topped position players in run environment value at plus-1.9 RE24 despite his team ultimately falling short. McMahon added plus-20.9 percent WPA to round out the top three. Jurickson Profar's triple off Drew Smith in the eighth, worth plus-15.7 percent win probability, effectively sealed the outcome by extending the Rockies' advantage late. Colorado's bullpen was equally instrumental: Justin Lawrence led all pitchers at plus-14.0 percent WPA, with Chase Anderson contributing plus-10.9 percent and Dominic Leone adding plus-7.1 percent in support of the Rockies' final margin. The Mets finished with 12 hits and no errors but could not sustain momentum after their sixth-inning burst.
