San Diego Padres Insights

• Griffin Canning – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
  It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Griffin Canning has utilized his non-fastballs 5.2% less often this year (59.6%) than he did last season (64.8%).
  Explain: Fastballs are the one easiest pitches to hit and generate few strikeouts, so a pitcher who begins to use his fastball more often will likely be less effective than he used to be.
• Manny Machado – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-170/+135)
  Manny Machado’s average exit velocity has fallen off this season; his 92.9-mph mark last season has fallen to 90.6-mph.
  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 stronger performance for the San Diego Padres offense going forward, given that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes they are the 5th-unluckiest offense in the game this year.
  Explain: When teams underperform their projected talent level, markets may undervalue them even while they are likely to perform better in the near future.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-140)
  The Milwaukee Brewers outfield defense profiles as the 3rd-best among every team in action today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
• Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-110/-120)
  Garrett Mitchell is an extreme groundball batter and matches up with the strong infield defense of San Diego (#3-best on the slate).
  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 Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen projects as the 6th-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.
