Milwaukee Brewers Insights
- Brandon Sproat – Over/Under 15.5 Pitching Outs (+120/-155)Compared to the average pitcher, Brandon Sproat has been given less leash than the typical pitcher this year, throwing an -8.4 fewer adjusted pitches each start.Explain: Pitchers with a shorter leash are more likely to get pulled earlier in games and record fewer outs.
- Garrett Mitchell – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)Garrett Mitchell has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this season (55% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the batting order in today’s 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.
- Christian Yelich – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+130/-170)Christian Yelich has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.8%) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards the league’s 2nd-shallowest LF fences today.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.
Houston Astros Insights
- Peter Lambert – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (+125/-160)Peter Lambert’s high utilization rate of his secondary pitches (62.9% this year) should work in his favor consider they are generally much more effective than fastballs.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.
- Yordan Alvarez – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+100/-130)Yordan Alvarez has been hot in recent games, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 94.4-mph to 98.6-mph in the last 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.
- It may be smart to expect worse numbers for the Houston Astros offense the rest of the season, considering that the leading projection system (THE BAT X) sees them as the 7th-luckiest offense in the league this year.Explain: When teams overperform their projected talent level, markets may overvalue them even while they are likely to perform worse in the near future.
