10/27 Milwaukee vs Tampa Bay

Milwaukee starting pitcher: Robert Gasser Tampa Bay starting pitcher: Freddy Peralta

This is Game 3 of the World Series, a best-of-seven. Milwaukee leads 2-0. Milwaukee went 103-59 (.64) and has won five straight. Tampa Bay went 98-64 (.61) and lost 3-2 on October 24, its most recent game. Milwaukee won the season series 3-1. The game is at Tropicana Field.

The two starters point in different directions. Gasser is 5-5 with a 3.65 ERA, but his 4.22 FIP says results have run ahead of process. His season SwStr% is 9.8% and CSW% is 26.8%. Over his last five starts he has a 3.53 FIP and 0.78 WHIP across 27.0 innings. That comes with a 99% LOB% and .159 BABIP, so the 3.99 xFIP and 10% SwStr% are the better guide. His average velocity went 93.6, 93.1, 93, 93.6, 94, so it is rising, and his latest top speed was 95.3. On the road he has a 3.88 ERA and 4.60 FIP over 62.2 innings. He has no history against Tampa Bay.

Peralta is 12-11 with a 4.12 ERA and 4.25 FIP, so results and process roughly match. His 11.3% SwStr% is solid, but his CSW% is 24.4%. Over his last five starts he has a 3.74 FIP in 22.0 innings, but also a 5.04 xFIP, 6.6% K-BB% and 11% BB%, and a 97.7% LOB% has helped. His average velocity rose from 96.2 to 97.1-97.5, and his latest top speed was 99. At home he has a 3.16 ERA and 3.77 FIP over 105.1 innings. On the road his ERA is 5.38 over 80.1 innings. Against Milwaukee he allowed 7 earned runs in 5.1 innings on July 21, including 2 homers. That is one start, so it tells us little.

Lineups are not confirmed, so this uses each team's previous game. The material has no team or individual hitting numbers, so there are no hot or cold hitters or batter-versus-pitcher records to cite. At the team level, Milwaukee won all of its last five games and Tampa Bay won three of its last five.

Milwaukee's bullpen has a 2.05 ERA over its last 10 games, but it used 16 innings and six pitchers recently. Tampa Bay's bullpen has a 3.55 ERA and used 8.7 innings and eight pitchers.

In summary, Gasser is a pitcher whose recent numbers need to be discounted for luck, and Peralta has a strong home record and high velocity but walks and the Milwaukee start to worry about. The key is whether Peralta can limit walks and go deep, and whether Gasser can keep runs off the board without a very low BABIP.
