COVERS INTEL:
Brandon Sproat has a 10.45 ERA, and ranks in the 5th percentile with an 8.10 xERA.
Blue Jays vs Brewers same-game parlay (SGP)
The Blue Jays' bats seem to be coming around, sporting a .282 average over their last five games, averaging 9.8 hits per game.
Sproat has struggled mightily this season, ranking in just the 14th percentile in expected batting average while allowing 4.6 hits per game and Daulton Varsho is well-positioned to capitalize.
Varsho comes in riding a six-game hitting streak, recording a hit in eight of his last nine games. Batting in the two-hole again, he’s in a prime spot to give Sproat serious trouble on the mound.
I’ll continue by fading the Brewers starter and take Sproat to go Over 1.5 walks. He’s walked at least three batters in each of his three starts this year, and takes on a Jays team who has an elite eye at the plate.
Blue Jays vs Brewers home run pick: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (+475)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn’t seen the ball fly the way he did last fall, but we’re starting to see the power shine through with multiple XBH over the last week of games.
Sproat gives up a lot of hard contact, too, ranking in the 14th percentile in hard hit rate this season with six XBH allowed.
Additionally, Guerrero Jr. has elite numbers against the sinker ball with a .467 batting average and last season had a .532 slug-rate against the pitch, which is Sproat’s go-to pitch with 37% usage.
