Grading the Miami Marlins: Swept in Milwaukee

For the former, of course, the Miami Marlins went and got themselves swept. Yelich went 3-for-14 with a home run in the finale, and Brinson was 3-for-12 with three homers, six RBI, and six strikeouts. In that regard, at least, they were one-for-two. Of course, they’re not playing for me — not specifically, anyway.

I used the Wins Probability Added metric (WPA) to help ascertain which players performed better (or worse) in the higher leverage situations. In other words, if the Miami Marlins are winning, 6-0, a plate appearance doesn’t count as much. Conversely, an at bat with two on and two out in the bottom of the 13th has a very high leverage.
