Chicago Cubs Insights

  • Drew Pomeranz – Over/Under 1.5 Strikeouts (+190/-255)
    With 6 hitters who bat from the other side in the opposing team’s projected offense, Drew Pomeranz 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.
  • Pete Crow-Armstrong – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-145/+115)
    Pete Crow-Armstrong has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (62% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th in the batting order in this game.
    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.
  • Chicago Cubs – 2H Moneyline
    The Chicago Cubs bullpen profiles as the 3rd-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.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-140)
    Out of all the teams playing today, the best infield defense is that of the the Milwaukee Brewers.
    Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing hits and runs.
  • Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
    Christian Yelich may have the upper hand against every reliever for the whole game, since the bullpen of the Chicago Cubs has just 1 same-handed RP.
    Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
  • Jackson Chourio – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-105/-125)
    Jackson Chourio hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.9% — 98th percentile) and is fortunate to face the league’s 8th-shallowest CF fences in today’s game.
    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.
