Milwaukee Brewers

Washington Nationals Insights

• Washington Nationals – Moneyline (+175)
  Out of every team in action today, the 3rd-worst infield defense is that of the Washington Nationals.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Daylen Lile – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Daylen Lile’s exit velocity on flyballs has declined this year; his 91.8-mph average last season has fallen off to 89.1-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.
• Luis Garcia – Over/Under Total Bases
  Luis Garcia Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards baseball’s 8th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Despite technically being the “starter” today, Aaron Ashby may not stay on the mound for more than a couple framess since he will function as more of an opener.
  Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
• Luis Rengifo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
  Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected Batting Average (.272) provides evidence that Luis Rengifo has had some very poor luck since the start of last season with his .233 actual batting average.
  Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have 3 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (via 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
