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 Total Bases (-160/+125)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.
- Sal Frelick – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-195/+150)Texas’s #2-ranked outfield defense of all teams on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Sal Frelick, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
- Milwaukee Brewers – 2H MoneylineThe Milwaukee Brewers bullpen profiles as the 9th-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.
