Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As the Los Angeles Angels host the Milwaukee Brewers, all eyes will be on Vaughn Grissom, but not for his walks. While Grissom has shown flashes of potential at the plate, his recent form suggests a different narrative. He’s been more aggressive lately, swinging at pitches rather than waiting for his walks.
When you consider the match-up against the Brewers’ pitching, particularly their ability to generate swings and misses, it reinforces this trend. Milwaukee's arms have been effective at limiting free passes, leading the league in fewest walks allowed. Plus, Grissom has averaged just under a walk per game in his recent outings.
Given the combination of his current approach at the plate and the Brewers’ stingy pitching, taking the under on Grissom’s walks feels like a smart play. It’s a classic case of recent trends aligning with solid matchup data.
