Milwaukee Brewers

Pittsburgh Pirates Insights

• Jared Jones – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-170/+130)
  Jared Jones has been given a shorter leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing 15.1 fewer adjusted pitches-per-game than the average starting pitcher.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Jake Mangum – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-215/+165)
  Jake Mangum has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (62% of the time), but he is penciled in 1st on the lineup card 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.
• Brandon Lowe – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
  Brandon Lowe pulls a lot of his flyballs (39.5% — 97th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 7th-deepest RF fences today.
  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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Logan Henderson – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-145)
  The Pittsburgh Pirates have 6 hitters in the projected batting order that will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Logan Henderson in today’s game.
  Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
• Andrew Vaughn – Over/Under Total Bases
  Andrew Vaughn has seen a notable improvement in his exit velocity lately; just compare his 93.8-mph average in the last 14 days to his seasonal 90.4-mph EV.
  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 Milwaukee Brewers offense in future games, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are 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.
