Today’s matchup is between the Milwaukee Brewers (34-26) and the Cincinnati Reds (28-30). The Brewers have won 5 of their last 5 games & the Reds have won 4 of their last 5 games.
The Brewers are starting Brett Anderson (LHP), who is 2-3 on the season with a 4.42 ERA, 5.65 FIP, 0.373 wOBA, K% of 12.7%, BB% of 7.2%, 93.4 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1.55 WHIP in 36.2 innings pitched.
The Reds are starting Vladimir Gutierrez (RHP), who is 1-1 on the season with a 2.7 ERA, 4.74 FIP, 0.232 wOBA, K% of 15%, BB% of 12.5%, 90.6 MPH average exit velocity, and a 1 WHIP in 10 innings pitched.
The Brewers are 23rd in the Majors in Relieving Pitching (WAR) while the Reds are 28th.
On the hitting side, the Brewers have a .295 wOBA and a .297 OBP with 75 HRs. While the Reds have a .329 wOBA and a .326 OBP with 82 HRs.
Although a smaller sample size Vladimir Gutierrez looks like a promising pitcher while Brett Anderson is getting the laces hit off the ball with a .373 wOBA and 1.55 WHIP. That's NO BUENO!! With the hitting advantage as well I like the Reds to win!
