COL
- The Colorado Rockies (COL) have a DK Team Own% of 95.84 and a DK LevX of -14.00%.
- For FanDuel (FD), the COL's Team Own% is 113.19 and the LevX is -14.00%.
These teams are good to stack in Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) due to their high percentage of games with 8+ runs scored, indicating consistent high offensive production. Furthermore, a high DK and FD Team Own% suggest these teams are frequently chosen by DFS players, highlighting their perceived value. However, it's important to note that the Cincinnati Reds (CIN) and the Colorado Rockies (COL) have negative LevX scores on both platforms, suggesting they may not always provide value relative to their ownership levels. The LevX score is a measure of leverage, and a negative score may indicate that a team is over-owned relative to its chances of success, which can limit upside in tournaments.

The players listed above are good bets to perform well based on their Weighted True AVG scores. These scores provide a more accurate representation of their performances, factoring in their individual match-ups against left and right-handed hitters. A lower Weighted True AVG score signifies a better performance in limiting the batting average of their opponents, which is the ultimate goal for a pitcher. Players like Sonny Gray and Carlos Hernandez, who have lower Weighted True AVG scores, are particularly likely to perform well. However, it's also important to consider the number and type of hitters they will be facing in their next match. For instance, Yu Darvish performs significantly better against LHH, so a game with more LHH would be more advantageous for him.
