Washington Nationals

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Tyler Black – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+135)
  Tyler Black has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (80% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th in the lineup 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.
• Milwaukee Brewers – Moneyline (-135)
  The Milwaukee Brewers projected lineup profiles as the 2nd-weakest of all teams on the slate today in terms of overall batting ability.
  Explain: A pitcher who faces a weak opposing offense will be more likely to exceed his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Washington Nationals Insights

• Zack Littell – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (-105/-125)
  Zack Littell has averaged 78.9 adjusted pitches per outing this year, ranking in the 12th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Washington Nationals – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Washington Nationals’ bullpen profiles as the 2nd-worst out of all the teams in the league.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.
