MLB bettors get early baseball on Sunday with the Colorado Rockies taking on the Philadelphia Phillies.
This is one of the more lopsided pitching matchups bettors will find as Colorado’s Jose Urena has proven to be one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball, while Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler has a long track record of being one of baseball’s best.
Let’s dig in and see whether the books have priced this gap as large as they should have.
Urena is sporting a 9.82 ERA over 14 2/3 innings, which amazingly isn’t really even due to bad luck. His FIP (10.36) is by far the worst among pitchers with 10 innings this season (small sample of course). In fact, the gap between his FIP and the second-worst FIP is bigger than the gap between second-worst and 12th-worst. His 2.32 WHIP is fifth-worst in baseball, as is his xwOBA allowed. Basically any leaderboard, standard or advanced, is going to have Urena near the bottom.
