Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Brandon Sproat – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-145)Among all starters, Brandon Sproat’s fastball spin rate of 2057 rpm grades out in the 7th percentile this year.Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
- Jake Bauers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)Jake Bauers has been lucky this year, posting a .387 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .331 — a .056 difference.Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
- Milwaukee Brewers – 2H MoneylineThe Milwaukee Brewers bullpen profiles as the 3rd-best in baseball, via 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.
Athletics Insights
- Jack Perkins – Over/Under 12.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jackson Perkins to throw 79 pitches in this matchup (5th-least of all pitchers on the slate), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Zack Gelof – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-230/+175)Zack Gelof has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (95% of the time), but he is projected to bat 5th in the lineup today.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.
- Shea Langeliers – Over/Under 2.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)In today’s game, Shea Langeliers is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 2nd-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.2% rate (81st percentile).Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
