Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  Jacob Misiorowski’s 2633-rpm fastball spin rate this year is in the 99th percentile among all SPs.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)
  Over the last 7 days, Christian Yelich’s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 9.8% down to 0%.
  Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have been the 5th-luckiest offense in the game this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to negatively regress the rest of the season
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.

Pittsburgh Pirates Insights

• Lake Bachar – Over/Under 5.5 Pitching Outs (-215/+165)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Lake Bachar to be on a bit of a short leash in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 66 pitches.
  Explain: A pitcher who is on a pitch count is likely to be pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Bryan Reynolds – Over/Under Total Bases
  Bryan Reynolds has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.1-mph to 94.8-mph over the past two weeks.
  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.
• Pittsburgh Pirates – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen ranks as the best out of all major league teams.
  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.
