David Hamilton has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (87% of the time), but he is projected to bat 2nd on the lineup card in this game. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is expected to have the 2nd-hottest weather of all games today at 84°. The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 12.7-mph in this match-up, the 3rd-most-favorable of the day for hitters. Hitting from the opposite that Yariel Rodriguez throws from, David Hamilton will have the upper hand in today's game. Home field advantage typically boosts batter metrics in all categories, and David Hamilton will hold that advantage today.
