Toronto Blue Jays Insights

• Toronto Blue Jays – Moneyline (+110)
  Among every team today, the 3rd-strongest infield defense is that of the Toronto Blue Jays.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-185/+140)
  Daulton Varsho has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (50% of the time), but he is projected to bat 2nd in the lineup in this matchup.
  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.
• Per the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the least strikeout-heavy lineup in today’s games is the Toronto Blue Jays with a 19.3% 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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Brandon Sproat – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-150/+115)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Brandon Sproat to have a pitch count in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 79 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Luis Rengifo – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+120/-155)
  Luis Rengifo has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 85.6-mph dropping to 79.6-mph in the last week’s worth of games.
  Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
• Milwaukee Brewers bats jointly rank 30th- in the game for power since the start of last season when judging by their 7% Barrel%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
