Miami Marlins vs. Colorado Rockies
Wednesday, August 28, 2024 – 08:40 PM ET at Coors Field
The AI Model likes the Colorado Rockies to defeat the Miami Marlins, 5.7-4.5 in tonight’s game. Colorado is the play, with the Rockies sitting at just -130 at Caesars Sportsbook.
Trouble For Meyer
The Marlins will run it back with rookie right-hander Max Meyer. He’s limited walks, but that’s all he’s done well. Meyer has struck out just 15.3% of batters over the last month. He’s also given up a .340 ISO and wOBA of .442 to his previous 118 batters.
He’ll go up against a Rockies lineup with five batters hitting an ISO of at least .176 against righties over the last month. Colorado will find power against Meyer tonight.
Freeland Gets The Job Done
The Rockies will throw Kyle Freeland. While his stats aren’t super good, he’s a veteran who typically finds a way to keep the Rockies in the game.
The left-hander has still added nearly 45% of ground balls over the last 30 days and has limited fly balls to 19.3%. That’ll win you some games in Coors Field alone.
Meanwhile, the Marlins have struck out 24.2% of the time against lefties using the projected lineup over the last 30 days and have walked 7.4% of the time.
The Pick
I, along with the AI Model, like the Rockies’ chances tonight.
