Milwaukee Brewers

Arizona Diamondbacks

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Brandon Woodruff – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-105/-125)
  Brandon Woodruff’s 91.4-mph velocity on his fastball this year is a big 1.1-mph drop off from last year’s 92.5-mph figure.
  Explain: Velocity is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs, so a pitcher whose velocity decreases will likely see worse results.
• William Contreras – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+165/-215)
  The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects William Contreras in the 96th percentile as it relates to his batting average ability.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors and regularly tests among the most accurate systems available. Batting average is the most common measure of a player’s ability to generate hits.
• Milwaukee Brewers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Milwaukee Brewers’ bullpen ranks as the 8th-best among all major league teams.
  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.

Arizona Diamondbacks Insights

• Merrill Kelly – Over/Under 16.5 Pitching Outs (-130/+100)
  Merrill Kelly has averaged 93.2 adjusted pitches per game per started this year, grading out in the 85th percentile.
  Explain: Pitchers who average more pitches per game are more likely to go deeper into games and record more outs.
• Ildemaro Vargas – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-180/+135)
  Ildemaro Vargas has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (55% of the time), but he is penciled in 8th in the batting order today.
  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.
• Gabriel Moreno – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (+140/-180)
  Gabriel Moreno has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40%) but may find it hard to clear MLB’s 3rd-deepest RF fences today.
  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.
