Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Shane Drohan – Over/Under 17.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Shane Drohan to throw 85 pitches in this game (16th-least on the slate), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
- Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)Christian Yelich has made significant improvements with his Barrel% of late, upping his 9.3% seasonal rate to 31.3% over the last 7 days.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.
- Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+135/-175)Christian Yelich has a 100th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (42%) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 11th-deepest LF fences in today’s matchup.Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
Los Angeles Angels Insights
- Ryan Johnson – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)The Milwaukee Brewers have 6 batters in the projected offense that will have the handedness advantage over Ryan Johnson in this matchup, which is especially problematic given his large platoon split.Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
- Jorge Soler – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)Jorge Soler has seen a significant gain in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 92.9-mph average in the last two weeks to his seasonal 88.7-mph figure.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.
- The Los Angeles Angels have 6 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jose Siri, Travis d’Arnaud, Zach Neto, Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, Denzer Guzman).Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
