Washington Nationals Insights

  • Foster Griffin – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
    The Milwaukee Brewers have 7 batters in the projected lineup that will have the handedness advantage over Foster Griffin today.
    Explain: Right-handed pitchers perform worse against left-handed hitters (and visa-versa). If several hitters hold this advantage against the pitcher, it can have a huge impact on whether he will perform well or struggle on any given day.
  • Nasim Nunez – Over/Under 0.5 Hits (-140/+110)
    Extreme groundball hitters like Nasim Nunez generally hit better against extreme flyball pitchers like Kyle Harrison.
    Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
  • Brady House – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+200/-265)
    In today’s game, Brady House is at a disadvantage facing the league’s 7th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 37.5% rate (95th percentile).
    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

  • Kyle Harrison – Over/Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-140/+110)
    In his last GS, Kyle Harrison turned in a great performance and notched 8 strikeouts.
    Explain: A pitcher who was strong in his last outing may be sharp once again in his next outing.
  • Christian Yelich – Over/Under 0.5 RBIs (+180/-235)
    Christian Yelich has taken a step back with his Barrel%; his 10.2% rate last year has fallen to 3.3% this season.
    Explain: Barrel% measures how often a player hits the ball at the optimal exit velocity and launch angle and is a terrific measure of underlying power.
  • The underlying talent of the Milwaukee Brewers projected lineup today (.302 projected wOBA via the leading projection system, THE BAT X) figures to be a good deal weaker than their .325 wOBA this year.
    Explain: Betting lines are often based on seasonal team quality. If today’s lineup is watered down, however, there may be value if markets aren’t accounting for the lower quality of this offense.
