EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
Vinnie Pasquantino is projected to bat 3rd in the lineup in this matchup.. Target Field ranks as the #7 ballpark in MLB for run-scoring, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is predicted to have the 4th-hottest temperature on the slate at 84°.. Vinnie Pasquantino will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Joe Ryan in today's matchup... and the cherry on top, Ryan has a large platoon split.. In the past two weeks' worth of games, Vinnie Pasquantino's exit velocity on flyballs has seen a big rise, from 92.7-mph over the course of the season to 95.3-mph in recent games.

St. Louis has allowed under five runs in four of the last five. Cincinnati doesn't have much punch with Elly de la Cruz hurt. The Reds have lost six of eight, hitting the five-run mark once. They're scoring less than three a game with Elly out. Cards starter Matthew Liberatore is coming off a scoreless 5.1 innings. He dropped his ERA by .77 runs and his WHIP by .096 in May.

St. Louis has scored 24 runs in three games against Cincinnati this season. Jordan Walker, in particular, loves seeing the Reds, hitting .500 with five extra-base hits and eight RBIs.  Starter Nick Lodolo doesn't seem like a candidate to slow the St. Louis onslaught. Lodolo's fastball is in the bottom 5% of MLB, and his barrel rate allowed is in the bottom 2%. His barrel rate (14.3%) nearly matches his strikeout rate (18.3%).

As it relates to his home run skill, Willy Adames ranks in the 91st percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Willy Adames is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card today.. Built 599 feet above sea level, Wrigley Field has the 10th-highest altitude among all stadiums, which generally leads to more offense.. Willy Adames pulls many of his flyballs (35.2% — 83rd percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting them towards baseball's 7th-shallowest LF fences in today's game.. Over the past week, Willy Adames's exit velocity on flyballs has seen a big rise, from 94.1-mph over the course of the season to 98.6-mph lately.

As it relates to his overall offensive ability, Matt Chapman ranks in the 85th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).. The 6th-shallowest LF fences among all major league stadiums are found in Wrigley Field.. Despite posting a .290 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Matt Chapman has experienced some negative variance given the .040 gap between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .330.

He's been swinging a hot power bat recently, and since May 1, the slugging catcher owns a .400 average and a 1.067 slug-rate against Bradish’s two most commonly thrown pitches.  Valenzuela also owns a 60% hard hit rate against them, which ranks 2nd on the Jays behind Yohendrick Pinango.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) ranks Kyle Schwarber as Major League Baseball's 2nd-best home run batter.. Kyle Schwarber is projected to bat 1st in the batting order in this game.. Citizens Bank Park has the shallowest fences in Major League Baseball — generally good for homers.. High temperatures are strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather forecast calls for the highest temperatures on the schedule today at 92°.. Kyle Schwarber will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Brandon Eisert today.

The #5 ballpark in the game for boosting batting average to left-handed batters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Truist Park.. The 4th-shallowest centerfield dimensions in the league are found in Truist Park.. Truist Park sits at the 3rd-highest elevation among all major league stadiums. High elevation often leads to higher offensive output.

Jeremy Pena is batting .500 over the last seven days and will square up against an Athletics rookie making his MLB debut. Pena is hitting .375 at home this year and .304 vs. righties, so I like his chances vs. a rookie and a bad A's pen.

LoanDepot Park profiles as the #21 venue in baseball for left-handed batting average, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).. LoanDepot Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to lower offensive output.. The LoanDepot Park roof projects to be closed today, making the temperature in this match-up -9° colder than the average outdoor game on the slate — favorable for pitching.. Jonathan Aranda pulls many of his flyballs (33.7% — 75th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball's 4th-deepest RF fences today.. Playing on the road typically diminishes hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Jonathan Aranda in today's matchup.

The Cleveland Guardians rank 24th in OBP and 29th in average against right-handed pitching. Hitting for power at Globe Life Field is difficult to do, and they aren’t well-equipped to string together hits against Leiter.

The Texas Rangers average almost a full run less per game at home. Playing in such a pitcher-friendly environment should help Bibee mask his problems.

Playable to -125.

Tanner Bibee has really struggled on the road, posting a 5.96 ERA and alarming underlying metrics to boot.

With Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager healthy again, the Texas Rangers have a more dangerous lineup to slow down.

This is a matchup between what might be the league’s two worst offenses. The Padres (.289) and Mets (.292) are at the bottom of the league in wOBA, take up the bottom two spots in OPS, and both have a heavy lean to the Under this year. I'm betting against these lineups and taking the Under tonight.
