Jarren Duran leads off for the Red Sox with a .383 wOBA and .269 ISO against left-handed pitchers. Following Duran is Rafael Devers, who boasts a .449 wOBA and .380 ISO. Rob Refsnyder and Tyler O’Neill show moderate power later in the lineup with .344 and .326 wOBA, respectively. The Red Sox lineup has a mix of power and plate-discipline to challenge Blach early in the game.
Blach has a 1.58 WHIP and allows 1.52 HR/9, struggling particularly against righties with a lower K% of 11.9. His 4.8 BB% indicates control but the high WHIP suggests vulnerability to hits and home runs, making the Red Sox vs Rockies NRFI/YRFI an intriguing bet.

Charlie Blackmon’s .370 wOBA and .154 ISO lead the Rockies, with Ryan McMahon’s .355 wOBA and .176 ISO also posing a threat. Ezequiel Tovar and Elias Díaz add depth but have higher strikeout rates. The Rockies lineup has potential to capitalize on Criswell’s pitching.
Criswell has a 1.28 WHIP and allows 1.09 HR/9, with a 20.1 K% and 6 BB%. His control is decent but the WHIP and HR/9 suggest he can be hit hard, especially by left-handed hitters. The Red Sox vs Rockies NRFI/YRFI could see early action from both teams.
