New York Mets Insights
- Kodai Senga – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)In his previous outing, Kodai Senga turned in a great performance and notched 8 strikeouts.Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
- Starling Marte – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)Typically, hitters like Starling Marte who hit a lot of flyballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Antonio Senzatela.Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
- New York Mets – 2H MoneylineAccording to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Mets’ bullpen ranks as the 3rd-worst out of all the teams in the majors.Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
Colorado Rockies Insights
- Ryan Rolison will “start” for Colorado Rockies today but will be treated as more of an opener and may not stay in the game more than a couple framess.Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
- Brenton Doyle – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+120)Brenton Doyle has struggled with his Barrel% of late; his 13.2% seasonal rate has fallen off to 0% in the past week.Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
- According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the Colorado Rockies are expected to record the 2nd-most runs (5.3 on average) of the day.Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
