Rays vs Rockies MLB Betting Preview
The Rockies will host the Rays on Wednesday afternoon to conclude a three-game set at Coors Field in Colorado.
Given Coors Field’s status as a hitter-friendly ballpark, I expect Wednesday’s contest to be a prime spot to target player prop betting markets.
And I expect Junior Caminero to have a massive day at the plate against Tomoyuki Sugano.
Across 19 appearances and 103 frames this season, Sugano is running a 4.47 ERA after surrendering 51 earned runs. That said, his ERA is a product of his Mile High environment, and his 1.26 WHIP is more indicative of his true talent level.
Still, Caminero is one of the best hitters in baseball.
Sugano is a four-seam-heavy pitcher (21% usage), but he’s allowed a whopping .422 xwOBA on the pitch with just a 14% whiff rate.
That’ll be a problem against Caminero, who is slugging .671 against four-seamers this season.
Pick: Junior Caminero Over 1.5 Total Bases
