Action PRO projects Rockies outfielder Troy Johnston for 1.28 hits in this matchup, giving us a strong 11.4% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 0.5, which is good enough to tag the Over with a B grade in our system.
Rockies vs Pirates Pick, Betting Analysis
Johnston has quietly been one of the more reliable bats in Colorado’s lineup this season, already recording 40 hits through the early portion of the year. His recent form has been especially encouraging, as he has cleared this line in four of his last five games.
The larger sample backs it up as well. Johnston has gone over this number in seven of his last 10 outings, showing a level of consistency that stands out for a simple 0.5 hits prop.
