The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jesse Winker in the 81st percentile when it comes to his overall offensive talent. Jesse Winker is projected to bat 5th in the lineup in this game. The 8th-shallowest right field fences among all major league stadiums are found in Nationals Park.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jorge Polanco in the 85th percentile when assessing his overall offensive ability. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and this game is expected to have the highest temperatures of the day at 86°. Jorge Polanco pulls a lot of his flyballs (40.8% — 99th percentile) and has the good fortune of hitting them towards MLB's 10th-shallowest RF fences in today's game. Despite posting a .266 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Jorge Polanco has had bad variance on his side given the .060 discrepancy between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .326. Jorge Polanco has notched a .355 Expected wOBA (xwOBA) since the start of last season, ranking in the 86th percentile for offensive skills according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.

Nationals Park projects as the #27 field in MLB for LHB batting average, per the leading projection system (THE BAT). Despite posting a .330 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes CJ Abrams has been very fortunate given the .024 deviation between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .306. CJ Abrams's 87.3-mph average exit velocity is one of the worst in baseball since the start of last season: 18th percentile. CJ Abrams is in the 22nd percentile when it comes to hitting balls between -4° and 26°, the launch angle range that tends to result the most in base hits (39.9% rate since the start of last season). The standard deviation of CJ Abrams's launch angle since the start of last season (29.9°) is in the 13th percentile. A high figure like this tends to lead to a lower rate of base hits.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Luke Raley in the 81st percentile when assessing his overall offensive skill. Luke Raley is penciled in 3rd in the lineup in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 74% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this year.
