Colorado Rockies Insights

  • Jose Quintana – Over/Under 13.5 Pitching Outs (-125/-105)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Jose Quintana to be on a bit of a short leash today, projecting a maximum of 75 pitches.
    Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
  • T.J. Rumfield – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-175/+135)
    T.J. Rumfield is penciled in 6th in the lineup today, which would be a downgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
    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.
  • Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
    Hunter Goodman pulls a lot of his flyballs (39% — 96th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences in today’s matchup.
    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.

Houston Astros Insights

  • Spencer Arrighetti – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
    Spencer Arrighetti has had some very poor luck with his strikeouts since the start of last season, notching a 7.90 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 8.45 — a 0.55 K/9 difference.
    Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value on K prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
  • Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
    Yordan Alvarez has a good chance to have an edge against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the Colorado Rockies has just 1 same-handed RP.
    Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
  • The underlying talent of the Houston Astros projected batting order today (.322 projected wOBA according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a fair amount worse than their .349 wOBA this year.
    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.
