Marlins vs Rockies MLB Betting Preview, Pick
"Editor's Note: This written pick is a transcription from today's episode of the Payoff Pitch Podcast."
I initially wondered whether Sandy Alcantara's trip to Coors Field might provide an edge because he is a heavy groundball pitcher. However, looking closely at the data, that isn't really the case. His career splits at Coors show an ERA over 6; his last start there wasn’t great; strikeouts don't come as easily; and his walks tend to tick upward. It seems Sandy is just as affected by Coors Field as any other pitcher; the altitude affects his command rather than causing him to give up hard-hit balls.
Despite that, I still project a massive starting pitching edge for Alcantara over Sean Sullivan and the Rockies today. More than the pitching matchup, though, the real deciding factor for me is the lineup differential. The Rockies make a decent amount of contact, but their swing decisions and overall power are essentially non-existent. They also hurt themselves elsewhere, with really bad baserunning and a below-average defense.
On the other hand, the Marlins rank among my best teams for my discipline rating. They are making highly effective, process-oriented decisions at the plate right now, which is a big reason why this team is sitting above .500. That disciplined process gives them a massive advantage over the Rockies' approach.
I made the true line for the Marlins at about -140. The market opened near -110 to -115 and was at -120 last night. It has moved up to -130 this morning, which is right at the limit of where I would play it; however, it has since moved over that.
Pick: Marlins Moneyline (Bet up to -130)
