Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

  • Justin Wrobleski – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
    Among all starters, Justin Wrobleski’s fastball spin rate of 2418 rpm is in the 79th percentile this year.
    Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Teoscar Hernandez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-155/+120)
    Teoscar Hernandez has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (56% of the time), but he is penciled in 7th on the lineup card in this matchup.
    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.
  • Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-110)
    The best projected offense on the slate in terms of overall hitting ability is that of the the Los Angeles Dodgers.
    Explain: A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • Milwaukee Brewers – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (-130)
    Logan Henderson is an extreme flyball pitcher (40.8% FB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) and will be disadvantaged pitching in the #2 HR venue in the league in today’s game.
    Explain: This pitcher’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.
  • Jake Bauers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-155/+120)
    Jake Bauers has seen a sizeable improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this year; just compare his 97.8-mph average to last season’s 94.9-mph mark.
    Explain: Most home runs are flyballs, and the harder those flyballs are hit, the more often they turn into home runs. This is a strong indicator of power.
  • Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
    The Milwaukee Brewers bullpen profiles as the 6th-best in Major League Baseball, 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.
