Michael Massey Total Hits Props • Kansas City

The leading projection system (THE BAT) profiles Kauffman Stadium as the 8th-best ballpark in baseball for LHB batting average. Kauffman Stadium sits at the 4th-highest altitude among all major league parks. High elevation tends to lead to higher offensive output. The weather report predicts temperatures in this game to reach the 2nd-highest level of all games on the slate today at 85°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). The wind projects to be blowing out to CF at 9.2-mph in this contest, the 2nd-best of the day for bats. Extreme flyball batters like Michael Massey generally hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Tarik Skubal.
