Table Insights

Extracted from rolling tables above.

Strongest

ATH Value

VALUE: The Athletics bullpen has been really tough to score against over the last week, posting a 2.34 ERA over that stretch. They have been one of the better relief units in baseball over the past two weeks as well. Back Oakland when the game gets to their pen late.

BAL Fade

FADE: The Baltimore bullpen has been a mess this week, giving up runs at a 6.24 clip and ranking 24th in baseball. They are also walking too many hitters and letting things snowball. Avoid Baltimore in close games where the bullpen will be needed.

COL Fade

FADE: The Colorado bullpen has been one of the worst in baseball over the last two weeks, ranking 26th. They are allowing runners and runs at a high rate, and the trend is heading the wrong way. Stay away from Colorado in games where the bullpen sees action.

KC Value

VALUE: The Kansas City bullpen has been on fire this week, allowing just 1.35 runs per nine and ranking third in baseball. The momentum is strong and they have been locking down leads. Back the Royals in games where the bullpen can close things out.

KC Value

VALUE: The Royals starting pitching has been trending up and the team overall has strong momentum right now. The starters have been getting through games and giving Kansas City a chance to win. Back KC starters this week while the hot streak continues.

LAD Fade

FADE: The Dodgers rotation has been solid over the last two to four weeks, but things have cooled off noticeably this past week with the team losing ground. The momentum is pointing down right now despite the strong longer-term numbers. Be cautious backing LA starters this week until they find their footing again.

COL Value

VALUE: This is a bit of a surprise, but Colorado starters have actually been sharp this past week with a 3.23 ERA and a solid WHIP of 1.11. That is a big contrast to how the bullpen has been performing. If you are playing Colorado, target their starters early before the pen gets involved.

MIN Fade

FADE: The Minnesota rotation has been struggling this week, ranking 26th in baseball, and the team is on a losing skid with momentum heading the wrong direction. The starters have not been missing bats either, which makes things harder. Avoid backing Minnesota starters until they show signs of turning it around.

ATL Fade

FADE: Atlanta's offense looks decent on paper with a solid OPS and about 4.5 runs per game, but the team has been losing recently and momentum is pointing down. Their recent weekly ranking has slipped to 15th despite stronger longer-term numbers. Hold off on backing Atlanta's bats until this cold stretch passes.

BOS Value

VALUE: Boston's offense has been putting up over 5 runs per game recently and the team is riding positive momentum. They are scoring at a high rate even if the OPS does not jump off the page. Back the Red Sox offense this week while they are rolling.
