Colorado Rockies

Kansas City Royals Insights

• Luinder Avila – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-160/+125)
  Tallying 13.4 outs per game per started this year on average, Luinder Avila places in the 9th percentile.
  Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
• Today’s version of the Royals projected offense is weaker than usual, as their .303 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .320 overall projected rate.
  Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Ryan Feltner – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+110)
  The Kansas City Royals have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage against Ryan Feltner in this matchup.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Tyler Freeman – Over/Under Hits
  Tyler Freeman has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (77% of the time), but he is penciled in 6th in the batting order in today’s game.
  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.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  The Colorado Rockies bullpen profiles as the worst in Major League Baseball, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  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.
