That is the hard data on the Rockies tonight, but I could also offer some general thoughts. They seem to become a league-average offense in these types of games, but they are priced like an elite unit tonight. When their opposing SP is priced below $9,000, they average 2.08 points per plate appearance. However, Rockies hitters have averaged just 1.73 DraftKings points per plate appearance at home when their opponent starts a pitcher priced at $9,000 or above on DraftKings. That’s a pretty big reduction that suggests that no pitcher (besides Jon Gray, of course) is immune to Coors Field. Pitchers priced above $9,000 have averaged 20 DraftKings points pitching everywhere else. In 40 starts, those pitchers have averaged 13 DraftKings points. I was curious as to how visiting stud pitchers fare in Coors Field, so I went back and looked at every non-Rockies starting pitcher in Coors priced at or above $9,000. Tonight the Rangers are the visiting team in Colorado, and they will throw out their ace Lance Lynn. When you look at the previous five years, you see pretty much the same thing: 1.7 DK points per PA overall, and 2.0 at Coors. When those plate appearances are coming in Coors Field, however, that number balloons to 2.1. So far in 2020, hitters are scoring 1.7 DraftKings points per plate appearance. I find it easier to write these posts if I just isolate the Coors Field game, get it out of the way, and then move forward as if the game doesn’t exist. Let’s march onward.Ĭreate DraftKings lineups using our DFS Lineup Optimizer tool > Coors Game No slate so far this year comes close to the amount of juice we see here, and scores should be very high tonight.

Twelve games on the board on this fine Friday, and boy oh boy are there some great plays on both sides of the ball here.
