Colorado Rockies Insights

• Kyle Freeland – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
  With 6 hitters of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected offense, Kyle Freeland faces a tough challenge while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in today’s game.

• Willi Castro – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-180)
  As a switch-hitter who performs better from the 0 side of the dish, Willi Castro will get to bat from his better side against Roki Sasaki in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed hitters perform better against left-handed pitchers (and visa-versa). This can have a huge impact on whether a hitter will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  The Colorado Rockies bullpen profiles as the 4th-worst in MLB, via 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.
