§ 01The analysis
This is a price-driven swing on a hitter who matches up well with the arm on the mound. Brandon Sproat has a 5.70 ERA over 60.0 innings, a 5.30 FIP, and a 4.5 BB/9 that lands him in the bottom tier of the league for command. Over his last 5 starts the FIP is still 4.77 across 24.0 innings, so the underlying contact quality has not tightened up. Travis Bazzana has handled right-handers, with a 0.84 OPS in 116 plate appearances and a .280 average against them. The sharpest matchup edge is on the sinker, where Bazzana has a .573 xwOBA versus right-handers over the last 30 days in 10 plate appearances. American Family Field plays neutral for left-handed power with a 1.00 home run factor. The honest counter is form. Bazzana has 5 hits in 37 at-bats over his last 10 games, and his 0.0% barrel rate against right-handed changeups over 19 plate appearances is a real hole. Sproat has also pitched better in his two most recent starts at a 3.27 ERA versus 6.23 in the older two.
§ 02The call
At +700, Bazzana over 0.5 home runs is a bet on a struggling right-hander with a 5.70 ERA, a 5.30 FIP, and a walk rate that ranks in the bottom tier of the league. Bazzana has hit righties for an 0.84 OPS this season and is sitting on a .573 xwOBA against sinkers in the last 30 days. The slump and the changeup hole are real, but at this number you do not need him to carry a hot bat. You need one swing from a left-handed hitter with 4 home runs in 154 at-bats. Take the over.
