Alex Kolodziej's Rockies vs Rangers Preview
In Monday's MLB action, the Colorado Rockies head to Texas to face off against the Rangers.
The Rockies are having a historically rough season, as they're widely regarded as the worst team in the league and are on pace to post historically low marks across multiple categories.
Given their struggles, the Rangers are heavy favorites, with odds set at -260, while the total runs line is sitting at 8.5.
For bettors looking for value beyond the moneyline, one of the top picks from our PRO Projections — our proprietary MLB betting data compiled by experts — I’m tailing on Monday is Rangers outfielder Evan Carter to hit a home run.
Despite being listed with the eighth-worst odds on the Rangers’ roster to homer today, Carter’s +680 price tag presents an attractive opportunity.
Our models assign a 0.18 probability to him hitting a long ball, which translates to a 4.1% betting edge, making this the most favorable wager in the game.
Rockies vs Rangers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Carter has just come off of an injury layoff and launched his first homer of the season this past weekend.
He recently confirmed to MLB.com that he’s no longer experiencing any pain when swinging the bat, signaling he's fully healthy.
Additionally, Carter has recorded hits in each of his last three games, further supporting his current strong form.
The best odds for this bet are available at FanDuel, making this a solid choice for Monday's slate.
