Long-balls are generally less common at fields with deep fences, and PNC Park has the 8th-deepest among all stadiums. The wind projects to be blowing in from LF at 8.1-mph in this game, the 4th-strongest of the day for mound aces. Paul Skenes will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Bobby Witt Jr. in today's game. Bobby Witt Jr. will be at a disadvantage playing on the road today. Bobby Witt Jr.'s exit velocity on flyballs has dropped off of late; his 94.1-mph seasonal average has lowered to 88.7-mph in the past week.

PNC Park sits at the 6th-highest elevation in MLB. High elevation usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense. The weather forecast predicts temperatures in this matchup to reach the 3rd-highest level on the slate at 85°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). Adam Frazier will have the handedness advantage over Paul Skenes in today's game. Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Expected Batting Average (.246) suggests that Adam Frazier has experienced some negative variance this year with his .206 actual batting average. Adam Frazier is in the 90th percentile when it comes to hitting balls between 23° and 34°, the launch angle range that tends to result the most in home runs (19.5% rate this year).

About Units and “ROI”

Units are a standardized measurement used to determine the size of each of your bets relative to your bankroll. For example, if you have a bankroll of $200 and you bet 5% of your bankroll each time, each of your units is worth $10. A bettor with a $2000 bankroll who bets 5% per bet has units of $100. We use the number of units to standardize the amount the trend is up or down across different bet amounts.

ROI is the best indicator of success and measures how much you bet vs. how much you profited. Any positive ROI is good in sports betting with great long-term bettors sitting in the 5-7% range.
