3. Chad Bettis
Chad Bettis has continued to pitch well following his comeback from testicular cancer. He is 5-1 with a 5.07 ERA. His ERA+ is 93.
Like most of the Rockies pitchers, Bettis struggles at home where he has a 8.75 ERA whereas his away ERA is 2.72. Also, like most of the Colorado staff, he has really struggled in the first inning. Batters are hitting Bettis at a .371 clip and his ERA in the first inning is 10.69.
Bettis is also struggling with walks. He leads the rotation this season with 36 bases on balls.
The area where Bettis excels at is ground balls. His pitch arsenal is to force as many ground balls as possible, which needs to be done in the thin air of Coors Field. He is tenth in the league with 147 ground balls.
