JefeBet App – Picks for Saturday, July 16, 2022
JefeBet App: MLB – Milwaukee Brewers vs. San Francisco Giants
How many BB will the Giants receive?
One of the few attributes that the San Francisco Giants’ offense has is their patience and selection at the plate, the same one that places them as the third team in the Major Leagues with the most walks scored in 2022 with 328. An average of 3.7 per meeting.
This Saturday, the California team will face starter Eric Lauer, who has dropped his rate to 2.8 BB/9 this year and will be tested by the Giants’ patience. Collectively, Milwaukee averages 3.27 BB/9, the 11th highest figure in the league.
Pick: 4.

JefeBet App: MLB – Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians
Will Cal Quantrill strike out more than five batters?
One of the main problems which has led to Cal Quantrill’s failure to succeed this season is that he has failed to have the strikeout ability he had on previous ones, averaging just 5.5 K/9 as opposed to his career 7.1.
This Saturday, the right-hander will open for the Guardians, at home, against the Tigers; the team he faced at the beginning of the month and who he gave four strikeouts in four innings. In fact, in only three of his 16 starts this season he has struck out at least five opponents, the last time being on May 31.
Pick: No.
How many walks will be awarded in the game?
In this matchup between AL Central rivals, we have two of the teams with the fewest walks awarded in the Major Leagues, but they also have the pitchers who award the fewest.
Cal Quantrill, the Guardines’ starter, averages 2.7 BB/9, while Michael Pineda, the Tigers’ starter, averages just 1.4. Collectively, Cleveland’s pitching awards three walks per game, while Detroit 3.11.
Offensively, neither team averages more than three walks awarded per game.
Pick: 5.
