Milwaukee Brewers Insights

  • David Hamilton – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
    There has been a decrease in David Hamilton’s average exit velocity this year, from 87 mph last year to 84.4 mph now
    Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
  • Placing least steep in the majors this year, Milwaukee Brewers hitters as a group have put up a 8.6° launch angle (a reliable metric to study the ability to lift the ball for power).
    Explain: A low launch angle generally means the hitter struggles to lift the ball into the air, which is a key component for power and home runs.

Houston Astros Insights

  • Kai-Wei Teng – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-160/+125)
    Among all SPs, Kai-Wei Teng’s fastball spin rate of 2492 rpm ranks in the 90th percentile this year.
    Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • The Houston Astros have hit 27.5% of their balls in the air 100 mph or harder this year, making them the #23 group of hitters in the majors by this metric.
    Explain: To hit a home run, the ball must be hit in the air and hit hard enough to clear the fence. This metric is a strong indicator of this kind of power.
