Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under HitsGarrett Mitchell is projected to hit 2nd on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 50% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
- Christian Yelich – Over/Under Total BasesChristian Yelich has a 98th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (39.6%) and will have to hit them out towards the league’s deepest LF fences today.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.
Kansas City Royals Insights
- Seth Lugo – Over/Under StrikeoutsThe Milwaukee Brewers have 7 bats in the projected batting order that will have the handedness advantage against Seth Lugo today.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Salvador Perez – Over/Under Stolen BasesThis season, there has been a decline in Salvador Perez’s footspeed with his Statcast Sprint Speed dropping from 24.4 ft/sec last year to 23.26 ft/sec currently.Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
- According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 3rd-least strikeout-prone lineup in today’s games is the Kansas City Royals with a 20% underlying K%.Explain: THE BAT X analyzes each player in today’s specific lineup to figure out which teams have the least inherent strikeout potential for the opposing pitcher.
