Cleveland Guardians Insights
- Slade Cecconi – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110/-140)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.
- Gabriel Arias – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-120/-110)Gabriel Arias is projected to bat 2nd on the lineup card in today’s game, which would be an upgrade from his 100% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.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.
- Cleveland Guardians – 2H MoneylineThe Cleveland Guardians bullpen ranks as the 4th-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
- Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-150)In his previous GS, Robert Gasser was firing on all cylinders and allowed 2 ER.Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
- Sal Frelick – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-175/+135)From last season to this one, Sal Frelick’s flyball exit velocity has decreased from an average of 88.2 mph to 84.8 mph.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 (-105/-125)Jackson Chourio hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.1% — 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.
