Houston Astros Insights

• Michael Burrows – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Among all SPs, Mike Burrows’s fastball velocity of 94.8 mph ranks in the 77th percentile since the start of last season.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Christian Walker – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Christian Walker has made notable strides with his Barrel%, upping his 12.3% rate last season to 23.1% this season.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• It may be smart to expect worse results for the Houston Astros offense in the future, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the luckiest offense in the game this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Kyle Freeland – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Kyle Freeland to throw 84 pitches in this game (4th-least of all pitchers on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.
  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 (+135/-170)
  T.J. Rumfield’s exit velocity on flyballs has dropped off of late; his 89.8-mph seasonal figure has fallen to 69.8-mph over the last week.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Colorado Rockies – 2H Moneyline
  The Colorado Rockies bullpen profiles as the worst in baseball, 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.
