Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Shane Drohan – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-115/-115)
  Taking into account both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Shane Drohan is projected to throw 85 pitches in this outing by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 16th-least of the day.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen projects as the 9th-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.
