Chicago Cubs Insights

• Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (+140)
  Out of every team on the slate today, the strongest infield defense is that of the Chicago Cubs.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Ian Happ – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
  Ian Happ is projected to hit 6th on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be a downgrade from his 97% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this season.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Chicago Cubs – Moneyline (+140)
  The Chicago Cubs projected batting order projects as the 2nd-strongest on the slate in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Kyle Harrison – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  Given that groundball pitchers have a significant edge over groundball batters, Kyle Harrison and his 37.4% underlying GB% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) finds himself in a favorable spot in today’s game being matched up with 2 opposing GB batters.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• William Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  William Contreras has seen a big increase in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 100.5-mph average in the last week’s worth of games to his seasonal 90.5-mph figure.
  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 – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen projects as the best out of all teams in the majors.
  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.
