Colorado Rockies Insights

  • Ryan Feltner – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
    Ryan Feltner has recorded 13.6 outs per outing this year, placing 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.
  • Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Hunter Goodman has seen a substantial gain in his exit velocity recently; just compare his 97.6-mph average in the last two weeks to his seasonal 91.2-mph mark.
    Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
  • Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Colorado Rockies’ bullpen ranks as the 2nd-worst among all the teams in baseball.
    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.

Chicago Cubs Insights

  • Edward Cabrera – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
    Edward Cabrera’s change-up utilization has spiked by 6.1% from last season to this one (25.6% to 31.7%) .
    Explain: Because change-ups are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
  • Dansby Swanson – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
    Dansby Swanson has been unlucky this year, notching a .269 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .333 — a .064 discrepancy.
    Explain: Players that are underperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the unlucky, to-date underperformance.
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-130/+100)
    Pete Crow-Armstrong pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.8% — 97th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 5th-deepest RF fences today.
    Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
