New York Yankees Insights

  • Cam Schlittler – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-110/-120)
    Generating 17.8 outs per start this year on average, Cameron Schlittler ranks in the 88th percentile.
    Explain: A pitcher who averages more outs per start than his Outs prop may be a good bet to go over, and visa-versa for the under.
  • Aaron Judge – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
    Aaron Judge has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 98-mph average over the last 14 days to his seasonal 94.1-mph average.
    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.
  • New York Yankees – 2H Moneyline
    According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Yankees’ bullpen profiles as the 8th-best out of all major league teams.
    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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • Kyle Harrison – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-130/+100)
    It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Kyle Harrison has gone to his fastball a lot this year, though: 60.3% of the time, grading out 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.
  • Luis Rengifo – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
    Luis Rengifo has had some very poor luck with his batting average since the start of last season; his .228 BA is a fair amount lower than his .272 Expected Batting Average, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s interpretation of Statcast data.
    Explain: xBA uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s batting average ability more accurately than actual batting average can.
  • Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Jackson Chourio hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.2% — 98th percentile) and sets up very well considering he’ll be hitting out towards MLB’s 8th-shallowest CF fences today.
    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.
