Tony Sartori’s Milwaukee Brewers vs Toronto Blue Jays Preview
Quinn Priester looks to continue his breakout campaign. Through 24 appearances on the mound, Priester is 11-2 with a 3.44 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.
His underlying metrics are equally impressive as Priester ranks in the top half of the league in expected ERA (xERA) and barrel rate.
While Priester had a rare poor outing against the New York Mets on Aug. 10, he has settled in nicely since. Over his past two starts, he boasts a 2.79 ERA.
Following Priester is one of the best bullpens in baseball. This season, Milwaukee’s relief corps ranks in the top 10 in ERA, fielding independent pitching (FIP), expected FIP (xFIP) and wins above replacement (WAR).
Toronto counters with a bullpen that also ranks in the top half of the league in FIP and xFIP. However, this relief corps may not be called upon early with Kevin Gausman on the mound.
Through 26 appearances this season, Gausman boasts a 3.87 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. Like Priester, his analytics are also strong.
Gausman ranks in the top half of the league in xERA, expected batting average (xBA), average exit velocity and hard-hit rate. Also like Priester, he enters this contest in good form.
The right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in three of his past four starts. Over that stretch, Gausman owns a 3.24 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP.
Milwaukee Brewers vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction, Pick
The biggest obstacle to the under in this matchup is the hitting — both lineups rank among the best in baseball. That said, each of these pitching staffs is capable of handling the challenge.
Furthermore, Milwaukee's roster is batting just .184 with a .289 slugging percentage over 41 combined plate appearances against Gausman.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-110 | Play to -115)
