Colorado Rockies Insights

  • Ryan Feltner – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
    With 6 batters who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected lineup, Ryan Feltner encounters a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this game.

  • Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
    The Colorado Rockies bullpen grades out as the 4th-worst in the game, per 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.

St. Louis Cardinals Insights

  • Jordan Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+105/-135)
    Jordan Walker 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 MLB’s 7th-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.
