Toronto Blue Jays Insights

  • Kevin Gausman – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-145/+115)
    Contrary to popular belief, fastballs are generally a pitcher’s least effective pitch. Kevin Gausman has used his non-fastballs 9.3% more often this season (55.5%) than he did last season (46.2%).
    Explain: A pitcher who limits has fastball usage will instead heavily use change-ups, curveballs, sliders, etc. These are far more effective pitches at preventing runs and generating strikeouts.
  • Daulton Varsho – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-135/+105)
    Daulton Varsho is projected to hit 2nd on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 57% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this season.
    Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
  • Toronto Blue Jays – 2H Moneyline
    The Toronto Blue Jays bullpen projects as the 4th-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

  • Jacob Misiorowski – Over/Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-125/-105)
    Jacob Misiorowski’s 97.9-mph fastball velocity this year is in the 99th percentile out of all starters.
    Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
  • Jake Bauers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-120/-110)
    Jake Bauers has been hot recently, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 93-mph to 95.3-mph over the past 7 days.
    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.
  • William Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+125/-160)
    William Contreras hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (39.4% — 96th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting towards the game’s 8th-shallowest CF 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.
