Colorado Rockies

Texas Rangers Insights

• Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
  Out of all starters, Kumar Rocker’s fastball spin rate of 2174 rpm ranks in the 23rd percentile since the start of last season.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Ezequiel Duran – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+190/-255)
  As it relates to his batting average, Ezequiel Duran has experienced some positive variance since the start of last season. His .241 mark has been quite a bit higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .191.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• Texas Rangers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Texas Rangers’ bullpen profiles 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.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Sammy Peralta will “start” for Colorado Rockies in today’s matchup but will function as an opener and may not pitch more than a couple framess.
  Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
• Mickey Moniak – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
  Mickey Moniak’s launch angle this season (24.2°) is considerably better than his 17.4° figure last year.
  Explain: A high launch angle generally means the hitter can lift the ball into the air well, which is a key component for power and home runs.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the Colorado Rockies are expected to score the most runs (5.63 on average) of the day.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
