Minnesota Twins

@

Milwaukee Brewers

Minnesota Twins Insights

• Taj Bradley – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)
  Out of all SPs, Taj Bradley’s fastball velocity of 96.4 mph is in the 85th percentile this year.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Kaelen Culpepper – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-175/+135)
  Kaelen Culpepper is an extreme groundball batter and squares off against the strong infield defense of Milwaukee (#3-best of the day).
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• The maximum exit velocity of any player on the Minnesota Twins has been 113.7 mph this year, making them the #25 squad in the majors by this stat.
  Explain: If a player can hit the ball hard even once, it has great predictive power over his ability to do it again. If he’s never hit the ball hard, it’s a sign of a lack of power.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-135)
  Robert Gasser is an extreme flyball pitcher (36.7% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #10 HR venue in MLB in this game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
• Christian Yelich – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+115)
  Christian Yelich is penciled in 7th on the lineup card today, which would be a downgrade from his 99% rate of hitting in the top-half of the lineup this year.
  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.
• Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-140)
  Jackson Chourio hits many of his flyballs to center field (40.7% — 99th percentile) and is fortunate to face MLB’s 8th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
