Baltimore Orioles vs Milwaukee Brewers Matchup Preview - June 8th, 2023

Today's contest between the Brewers and the Orioles pits The Sharp Model's 155th ranked SP (Kyle Bradish) against the 275th ranked SP (Colin Rea). The rundown on Bradish tells us that he leans on his four-seamer fastball 31.7% of the time and keeps hitters off balance with a slider (27.3%). Rea is a sinker guy (27.3%) who brings a cut-fastball as his most-trusted secondary offering. Advanced stats (namely, FIP) tell us that Bradish deserves something like a 3.99 ERA, compared to his actual ERA of 4.13. On that front, Rea's ERA sits at 4.94 and his FIP at 5.40.

Milwaukee Brewers Insights

• Colin Rea has had some very good luck with his strikeouts this year, posting a 7.61 K/9 despite The Sharp Model estimating his true talent level to be 7.04 — a 0.57 K/9 deviation.

• Jon Singleton is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of Baltimore (#2-worst on the slate).

• Rowdy Tellez hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (41.5% — 100th percentile) and is fortunate to face the league's 8th-shallowest CF fences in today's matchup.
