Colorado Rockies Insights

• Gabriel Hughes – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+115/-145)
  Considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Gabriel Hughes is projected to throw 83 pitches today by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 6th-least on the slate today.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• T.J. Rumfield – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+145/-190)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates T.J. Rumfield’s true offensive ability to be a .294, implying that he has had some very good luck this year given the .066 deviation between that figure and his actual .360 wOBA.
  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.
• Today’s version of the Rockies projected batting order is missing some of their usual firepower, as their .303 the leading projection system (THE BAT X) wOBA is considerably below their .322 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.

San Francisco Giants Insights

• Blade Tidwell – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-115/-115)
  The Colorado Rockies have 6 hitters in the projected offense that will hold the platoon advantage over Blade Tidwell 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.
• Drew Gilbert – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)
  Drew Gilbert is projected to hit 1st on the lineup card in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• San Francisco Giants – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen projects as the 6th-worst out of all the teams in the game.
  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.
