Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-150)
    Dustin May allowed a staggering 6 earned runs in his last start.
    Explain: A pitcher who struggled in his last outing may have something wrong that affects him in his next outing as well.
  • Andrew Vaughn – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    Andrew Vaughn has been lucky this year, posting a .373 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .331 — a .042 gap.
    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 projects as the 8th-best in baseball, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).
    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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

  • Andrew Abbott – Over/Under 14.5 Pitching Outs (-155/+120)
    Tallying 93.2 adjusted pitches per outing this year on average, Andrew Abbott falls in the 83rd percentile.
    Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
  • Hector Rodriguez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-200/+155)
    Hector Rodriguez is projected to bat 1st in the batting order in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 75% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.
    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.
  • Sal Stewart – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+115/-150)
    Sal Stewart has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.2%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them out towards the game’s 8th-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
    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.
