WAS vs KC Props
Lane Thomas Total Hits Props • Washington
Although Lane Thomas has an exceptional 39.4% hit rate towards center field (ranking in the 92nd percentile), he may encounter difficulty in surpassing MLB's 4th-deepest CF fences during in today's matchup's game. Lane Thomas will be at a disadvantage playing on the road today. Lane Thomas's ability to hit the ball at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between -4° and 26°) has fallen off from last year to this one, decreasing from 16.7% to 12.1%. Based on Statcast data, THE BAT X's version of Expected Batting Average (.249) implies that Lane Thomas has had positive variance on his side this year with his .289 actual batting average.
