Boston Red Sox

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Brandon Woodruff – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
  Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are typically a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Brandon Woodruff has used his fastball a lot since the start of last season, though: 62.5% of the time, ranking in the 100th percentile.
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so pitchers who rely too heavily on them tend to be less effective than they otherwise would be.
• David Hamilton – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-145/+110)
  In the last week, David Hamilton’s exit velocity on flyballs has decreased from his seasonal mark of 90.4 mph to 71 mph.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have 3 hitters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Garrett Mitchell, Jake Bauers, Blake Perkins).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Boston Red Sox – Moneyline (+110)
  Out of all the teams in action today, the strongest infield defense is that of the Boston Red Sox.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Wilyer Abreu – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Typically, hitters like Wilyer Abreu who hit a lot of flyballs usually hit worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Brandon Woodruff.
  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.
• Boston Red Sox – 2H Moneyline
  The Boston Red Sox bullpen grades out as the best in the game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.
