“Can Feltner Silence Yelich and Turn the Tide for the Rockies?”

I’ve said this about the Rockies for the three or four years I’ve been doing this with Outkick: never bet the Rockies on the road, but it is occasionally acceptable to bet them when they are at home. Colorado is a franchise that I feel like should be so much better than it actually is. The team is seemingly willing to spend money, they are in an area that people seem to enjoy, and the idea of hitting 81 of your games in a park that improves your numbers should stand out to most hitters. Sure, conversely, pitchers don’t want to play there, but focus on ground ball pitchers and strikeout pitchers through the draft. I’m not the GM, what do I know? But, I do think I might be able to produce the same or better results than whatever they have going on right now. Today they put Ryan Feltner on the hill. Feltner has made two starts already and allowed two earned runs in each of them. As you probably would expect, he had a higher ERA at home last season than on the road, but his day starts were significantly better than his night outings. That is not a trend that can be stated over his career, so perhaps it was a one-time fluke. Brewers hitters haven’t seen a ton of Feltner, but Christian Yelich has been good against him, going 4-for-9 with two doubles.
