Los Angeles @ Oakland props

The #5 park in the majors for suppressing batting average to RHB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Oakland Coliseum. Oakland Coliseum's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in MLB, which often leads to less offense. Hitting from the same side that Roansy Contreras throws from, Miguel Andujar encounters a tough challenge in today's game. In the past 14 days, Miguel Andujar's 0% rate of hitting balls at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has taken a nosedive compared to his seasonal rate of 5.3%. In terms of his batting average, Miguel Andujar has been very fortunate this year. His .294 figure has been a good deal higher than the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .262.
