Milwaukee Brewers

Texas Rangers Insights

• Kumar Rocker – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
  Kumar Rocker has relied on his slider 22.4% more often this year (38.2%) than he did last year (15.8%).
  Explain: Because sliders are one of the most effective pitches to use, a pitcher who alters his pitch mix to use more of them will often see more success as a result.
• Jake Burger – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+195/-265)
  Jake Burger has seen a significant improvement in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 103.5-mph average over the last 7 days to his seasonal 90-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.
• It may be sensible to expect worse numbers for the Texas Rangers offense in the future, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 8th-luckiest offense in baseball 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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-165)
  In his last outing, Dustin May allowed a staggering 6 earned runs.
  Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
• Jake Bauers – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-165)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jake Bauers’s true offensive skill to be a .329, suggesting that he has experienced some positive variance this year given the .050 difference between that figure and his actual .379 wOBA.
  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 Moneyline
  The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen profiles as the 7th-worst in the league, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
