Milwaukee Brewers

Tampa Bay Rays Insights

• Tampa Bay Rays – Moneyline (+120)
  Out of all the teams in action today, the 3rd-worst infield defense belongs to the Tampa Bay Rays.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Yandy Diaz – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  In today’s game, Yandy Diaz is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 7th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 43.7% rate (100th percentile).
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Jacob Misiorowski – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+115/-145)
  Compared to the average starter, Jacob Misiorowski has been given a below-average leash since the start of last season, throwing an -9.7 fewer adjusted pitches each game.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Christian Yelich – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-190/+145)
  Extreme flyball bats like Christian Yelich tend to perform worse against extreme flyball pitchers like Drew Rasmussen.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create diminished performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have 3 bats in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jake Bauers, Garrett Mitchell, Blake Perkins).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
