Rockies @ Giants – 5/11

If you squint hard enough you can see the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

More day baseball picks! The Colorado Rockies visit the San Francisco Giants for the final game in a three game series at 3:45pm today. Two right handers will toe the rubber, with Chad Kuhl going for the Rockies and Alex Cobb on the mound for the Giants. When you look at the surface numbers for the starters it would appear Kuhl has the advantage – he’s sporting a .215 wOBA! But he has been very lucky so far. Kuhl’s expected ERA is more than a run higher than his actual. He’s stranding a lot of runners (85.6 LOB%), has an unsustainable .179 BABIP and 6.7% HR/FB rate. Meanwhile Cobb has insane Statcast numbers. His .192 xwOBA and 1.27 xERA are both in the top 1% of MLB.
