Colorado Rockies Insights

• Colorado Rockies – Moneyline (+350)
  Among every team on the slate today, the 3rd-weakest outfield defense belongs to the Colorado Rockies.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Troy Johnston – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Despite posting a .363 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Troy Johnston has been very fortunate given the .074 difference between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .289.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Colorado Rockies’ bullpen profiles as the 4th-worst among 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.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Shohei Ohtani – Over/Under 18.5 Pitching Outs (+125/-160)
  Compared to the average hurler, Shohei Ohtani has been granted a longer leash than the average pitcher this year, tallying an extra 3.9 adjusted pitches each outing.
  Explain: Pitchers with a longer leash are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Will Smith – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  Will Smith is penciled in 7th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 93% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Will Smith – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-170)
  Will Smith hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40% — 98th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting towards the game’s 9th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.
