Charlie Wright’s Phillies vs Rockies Preview
[subheader sizedown=”true” center=”false” text=”Colorado Rockies Player Prop: Weak Strikeout Guy” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/mlb/100/col.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/mlb/odds/colorado-rockies” link1follow=“false”][/subheader]
Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez has been among the weakest strikeout pitchers in MLB this season.
Among pitchers with at least 40 frames thrown, his 10.9% strikeout rate ranks only ahead of teammate Antonio Senzatlea. Marquez also has the 10th-lowest swinging-strike rate and the lowest CSW rate.
Marquez has posted an absurd 8% strikeout rate in three home starts.
Among MLB lineups over the past month, the Phillies boast the fourth-lowest strikeout rate against right-handed pitchers at 18.8%. Thursday’s projected lineup has a 19.1% strikeout rate against the side this year.
The Phillies should have at least five lefties in the lineup, including three in the top four. Marquez has just an 8.2% strikeout rate against southpaws.
Colorado got decent length from Senzatela (6 IP) and Kyle Freeland (5 ⅓ IP) in this series. Carson Palmquist only went 4 ⅓ on Wednesday, but Angel Chivilli covered 2 ⅓ in relief. Regardless, the bullpen should be well-rested enough to provide a short leash for Marquez.
I bet Marquez Under 3.5 strikeouts earlier, but that line has since moved. Still, I’m happy to put a half-unit on Under 2.5 at any solid plus-money price.
Pick: German Marquez Under 2.5 Strikeouts (+130, BetMGM)
