Total Base Race – Pittsburgh Pirates/Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies get a great matchup against Trevor Williams tonight. He enters this game with a 5.22 xFIP and a 5.12 SIERA through 20 starts. He has been at his worst against left-handed batters, allowing them to hit for a .337 average with a .572 slugging percentage and a .393 wOBA. Williams has also given up a .246/.469/.315 line to right-handed batters this season. Charlie Blackmon has been an elite option in Colorado, where he owns a .400 average with a .791 slugging percentage and a 1.244 OPS through 51 games. He possesses 42 extra-base hits (19 home runs) in those games, as well. Blackmon does boast 38% hard hit and 44% fly ball rates to go along with a 92 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. He also brings 0.02 wOBA and 0.007 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching into this game. Trevor Story is an option who has found more success against left-handed pitching, but his numbers against right-handed pitching are far from anything to scoff at. Surprisingly, he has only posted 35% hard hit and 32% line drive rates with a 91 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. With that being said, Story has recorded a .338 average with a .675 slugging percentage and a 1.083 OPS through 60 home games. Story boasts 39 extra-base hits (19 home runs) in those games, as well. Chi Chi Gonzalez will be taking the mound for Colorado. He has struggled with a 5.94 xFIP and a 6.37 SIERA this season.
