Analysis
Root Reserve on Colorado Boston Red Sox: Jake Bennett, LHP Appearances: 4 Starts: 4 ERA: 4.79 WHIP: 1.26 Strikeout Rate: 15.3% Walk Rate: 5.9% Ground Ball Rate: 54.0% Home Runs Allowed Per Nine Innings: 0.4 FIP: 3.34 Colorado Rockies: Ryan Feltner, RHP Appearances: 9 Starts: 9 ERA: 5.05 WHIP: 1.29 Strikeout Rate: 19.1% Walk Rate: 9.2% Ground Ball Rate: 42.3% Home Runs Allowed Per Nine Innings: 1.5 Bennett’s ERA is near five, but the FIP gap, strong ground-ball rate and low HR/9 suggest better underlying work. Feltner has more strikeout punch, but the walk rate and home-run rate are concerns in Colorado. Boston is batting .240 against right-handed starters with a .378 slugging percentage, while Colorado is hitting .263 at home with a .424 slugging percentage. Feltner has posted a 3.86 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over his past four starts, and the Rockies’ bullpen has been in better recent form. Boston is 22-36 against right-handed starters, down 22.3 units, while Colorado is 13-11 as a home underdog of +100 or higher, up 3.8 units. Play Colorado
