Colorado Rockies vs. Houston Astros
- Leg 1: Mickey Moniak Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
- Leg 2: TJ Rumfield Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135)
- Leg 3: Ryan Weiss Ocver 3.5 Strikeouts (-146)
The Houston Astros will start Ryan Weiss tonight. The right-handed thrower has added 26.8% of strikeouts to start the season. However, he’s also allowed a .214 ISO and a wOBA of .437 to lefties this year.
Mickey Moniak has smashed a .287 ISO and a wOBA of .372 against right-handed pitchers since last season. The righty has been red-hot to begin the season and is usually up at the plate to swing away.
TJ Rumfield is a bit more selective. He’s also hit a .188 ISO and a wOBA of .382 against righties to start the season. Rumfield has hit as many fly balls as ground balls and 35.1% of line drives with 59.5% of hard contact against righties as a left-handed hitter.
Still, Ryan Weiss should end up with at least four strikeouts. The Rockies’ projected lineup has struck out 25.3% of the time against righties. It’s a lineup that features five batters who have struck out at least 24% of the time against righties since last season.
Parlay Odds: +648
Seattle Mariners vs. San Diego Padres
- Leg 1: Luis Castillo Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-114)
- Leg 2: Jackson Merrill Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
- Leg 3: Cal Raleigh Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115)
Luis Castillo will get the start for the Seattle Mariners tonight. The right-hander has allowed a .192 ISO to lefties to begin the season. He’s also struck out only 20.7% of lefties this year. Tonight, he’ll go up against Jackson Merrill, who has smashed a .224 ISO and a wOBA of .356 against right-handed pitching since last season.
In addition, the Padres’ lineup has struck out only 20.6% of the time since last year against righties. Only Ramon Laureano and Luis Campusano have struck out at a high rate. It’s why we’ll take Castillo to go under 4.5 strikeouts.
Finally, let’s ride with Cal Raleigh to earn at least two total bases. Walker Buehler is expected to pitch for the Padres, and he’s struck out fewer than 15% of left-handed batters this season. When Raleigh connects, it’s usually a fly ball with hard contact. Since last season, he’s hit 45.5% of fly balls and 70.8% of hard contact against righties. Look for Raleigh to add some hard-hit fly balls against Buehler.
