Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Brandon Sproat – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
  Compared to the average pitcher, Brandon Sproat has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an -8.4 fewer adjusted pitches each start.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Brice Turang – Over/Under Total Bases
  Brice Turang has struggled with his Barrel% of late; his 8.4% seasonal rate has lowered to 0% in the past two weeks’ worth of games.
  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.
• Christian Yelich – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+190/-255)
  Christian Yelich has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.8%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF 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.

Houston Astros Insights

• Peter Lambert – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  Peter Lambert has a reverse platoon split and is fortunate enough to be facing 7 opposite-handed hitters in this matchup.
  Explain: A pitcher with a reverse platoon split will perform better against opposite-handed hitters (i.e. a right-handed pitcher will be better against a left-handed hitter). Holding this advantage against several hitters can have a huge impact on whether a pitcher will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under Total Bases
  Yordan Alvarez has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 94.4-mph to 98.6-mph in the last 7 days.
  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.
• It may be smart to expect worse numbers for the Houston Astros offense the rest of the season, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 5th-luckiest offense in the league this year.
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
