Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • Brandon Sproat – Over/Under Pitching Outs
    The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Brandon Sproat to throw 84 pitches in today’s game (4th-least of all pitchers on the slate today), 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.
  • Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
    The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen projects as the best in the league, according to 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.

Pittsburgh Pirates Insights

  • Braxton Ashcraft – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115/-150)
    The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Braxton Ashcraft in the 92nd percentile when estimating his strikeout ability.
    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.
  • Jake Mangum – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+180/-235)
    Milwaukee’s #3-ranked outfield defense on the slate poses a formidable challenge for Jake Mangum, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
    Explain: This player’s skill set matches up poorly with the opposing team’s defensive strength, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Henry Davis – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
    Henry Davis pulls many of his flyballs (38.6% — 95th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the game’s 10th-deepest LF fences today.
    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.
