Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Brandon Lockridge – Over/Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (+430/-680)
  Brandon Lockridge’s speed has declined this year. His 30.07 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last year sits at 28.6 ft/sec now.
  Explain: Slow players tend to get fewer hits because they can’t beat out groundballs, fewer extra base hits, and fewer stolen bases.
• Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+150/-195)
  Christian Yelich has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.6%) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them in the direction of the game’s shallowest LF 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.

Boston Red Sox Insights

• Despite technically being the “starter” in today’s game, Sonny Gray may not pitch more than a couple frames considering he will be treated as more of an opener.
  Explain: Openers have become a common strategy where a relief pitcher is used for the first (and maybe second) inning. This can suppress early run scoring as relievers are generally of a higher quality than non-ace starters.
• Roman Anthony – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-165/+125)
  Based on Statcast metrics, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)’s version of Expected HR per 600 plate appearances (27.7) implies that Roman Anthony has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season with his 15.4 actual HR/600.
  Explain: xHR uses highly advanced Statcast data to measure a player’s home run ability more accurately than actual home runs can.
• The Boston Red Sox have 3 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Roman Anthony, Wilyer Abreu, Trevor Story).
  Explain: Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts
