Milwaukee Brewers

Miami Marlins Insights

• Max Meyer – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-120/-110)
  Max Meyer’s 2612-rpm fastball spin rate this year grades out in the 99th percentile among all starters.
  Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
• Kyle Stowers – Over/Under Total Bases
  The Milwaukee Brewers have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Kyle Stowers can likely count on holding the advantage against every reliever all game.
  Explain: Hitters perform worse against pitchers of the same handedness (i.e. righty-vs-righty), and being able to avoid those matchups against the bullpen boosts performance and creates hidden edge.
• Kyle Stowers – Over/Under Total Bases
  Kyle Stowers pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (35.3% — 83rd percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game’s 7th-deepest RF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set does not match up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to worse-than-usual performance.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Shane Drohan – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-120/-110)
  Compared to the average pitcher, Shane Drohan has been given a shorter leash than the average pitcher this year, throwing an -9.1 fewer adjusted pitches each start.
  Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
• Jake Bauers – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-140/+110)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jake Bauers’s true offensive ability to be a .333, implying that he has had some very good luck this year given the .040 difference between that figure and his actual .373 wOBA.
  Explain: Players that are overperforming should be expected to play worse going forward, which can create value on prop Unders if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date overperformance.
• The Milwaukee Brewers have been the 6th-luckiest offense in MLB this year, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), and are likely to hit worse in the future
  Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
