Cincinnati Reds

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Shane Drohan – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+105/-135)
  Taking into account both his underlying tendencies and the matchup, Shane Drohan is projected to throw 84 pitches in this outing by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) system, which is the 16th-least of the day.
  Explain: Pitchers who throw relatively few pitches are more likely to get pulled from the game earlier, record fewer outs, and generate fewer strikeouts.
• Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen projects as the 8th-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.

Cincinnati Reds Insights

• Rhett Lowder – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-150/+115)
  With 6 bats of the opposite hand in the opposing team’s projected offense, Rhett Lowder will be in a tough position while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this game.
  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.
• Sal Stewart – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-235/+180)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Sal Stewart in the 92nd percentile when estimating his batting average skill.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Sal Stewart – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+110/-145)
  Sal Stewart has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.2%) and will have a big advantage hitting them out towards the game’s 8th-shallowest RF fences today.
  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.
