Rockies vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
It used to be that you could at least rely on Kyle Freeland for some competence on the road, but with a 4.64 xFIP and 5.96 FIP away from Coors this year, that may not be true anymore.
Then, of course, there’s the possibility that he’s transitioning to a park that’s an even more difficult run environment tonight.
Freeland’s .353 BABIP and 61.2 LOB% are both ridiculous numbers and career worsts, but let’s not ignore that the underlying numbers (4.40 SIERA to a 6.39 xERA range) paint the picture of a terrible performance either way.
Alternatively, Jeffrey Springs has not been good, but his 4.68 ERA is within half a run of all non-FIP estimators without any reaching five. Sixteen of his 22 barrels have left the yard, nine of them in Sacramento. It probably won’t get any better here.
I credit Springs with a half-run edge over Freeland, though the larger gap is between the two offenses, which I project close to 50 points of wRC+.
The Rockies have just a 66 wRC+ against LHP, while their projected lineup is even worse against southpaws since last year (60 wRC+). Hunter Goodman (117) and Willi Castro (105) are the only two expected starters even above 80. They would need a near 50% boost to even get them to average offensively.
The projected Sacramento/Las Vegas/formerly Oakland lineup averages a FAR better 119 wRC+ both over the last 30 days and against LHP since last season. In fact, each of the first seven in the expected order is above average in the latter category.
The projected Colorado defense may have a small defensive advantage (5 FRV), but that hardly puts a dent in the deficit.
The Athletics also have the better bullpen estimators (again FIP, xFIP and SIERA) by exactly a run over the last month and are BARTOLO’s 13th best bullpen this season against Colorado’s 26th ranking, but in such a volatile park, I’d rather stick with the pitchers I know and advocate the A’s F5 (-148 FD), where I show a bit more value than full game (-170).
Pick: Athletics F5 -148, 0.74u (Bet to -165)
