San Diego @ Detroit Picks & Props

The #9 field in the league for suppressing base hits to right-handed hitters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Comerica Park. Reese Olson will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Fernando Tatis Jr. in today's matchup. Fernando Tatis Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (39% — 88th percentile) and will be challenged by MLB's 2nd-deepest CF fences today. Playing on the road typically diminishes hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Fernando Tatis Jr. in today's game. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Fernando Tatis Jr.'s true offensive skill to be a .386, indicating that he has been lucky this year given the .059 discrepancy between that figure and his actual .445 wOBA.

Jose Iglesias is projected to hit 7th in the batting order in this game. The #9 field in the league for suppressing base hits to right-handed hitters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Comerica Park. Hitting from the same side that Reese Olson throws from, Jose Iglesias encounters a tough challenge in today's matchup. Jose Iglesias has an 81st percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.2%) and will be challenged by MLB's 10th-deepest RF fences today. Typically, bats like Jose Iglesias who hit a lot of flyballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Reese Olson.

Oscar Gonzalez has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (78% of the time), but he is penciled in 6th in the batting order in this matchup.
