Milwaukee Brewers

Cleveland Guardians Insights

• Slade Cecconi – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+105/-135)
  Despite conventional wisdom, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Slade Cecconi has used his secondary pitches 6.5% more often this season (51.8%) than he did last season (45.3%).
  Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
• Steven Kwan – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-165/+130)
  Steven Kwan is projected to bat 7th in the batting order in this game, which would be a downgrade from his 66% rate of hitting in the top-half of the batting order this year.
  Explain: The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.
• Cleveland Guardians – 2H Moneyline
  The Cleveland Guardians bullpen ranks as the 5th-best in baseball, per 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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Robert Gasser – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+120/-155)
  Robert Gasser’s fastball spin rate over his last 3 outings (2091 rpm) has been a considerable dropoff from than his seasonal rate (2145 rpm).
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher who improves his spin rate will likely see improved results.
• Jake Bauers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Jake Bauers has seen a sizeable gain in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 97.4-mph average to last year’s 94.9-mph mark.
  Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
• Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Jackson Chourio hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.3% — 98th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the league’s 8th-shallowest CF fences in today’s matchup.
  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.
