San Francisco @ Colorado Picks & Props

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Dominic Smith in the 20th percentile when assessing his BABIP ability. Dominic Smith has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this season (67% of the time), but he is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in today's game. The Colorado Rockies outfield defense projects as the 4th-strongest out of all the teams on the slate today. Playing on the road generally lessens batter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Dominic Smith today. In the last 7 days, Dominic Smith has failed to produce much power, posting a mere a 0% Barrel% (an advanced standard to evaluate power).

Coors Field ranks as the #1 ballpark in Major League Baseball for right-handed batting average, per the leading projection system (THE BAT). Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest altitude in the majors, which generally leads to higher offensive output. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and this game is forecasted to have the highest temperatures of all games on the slate at 91°. The San Francisco Giants infield defense grades out as the worst among every team in action today.

When it comes to his overall offensive talent, Thairo Estrada ranks in the 21st percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X). Batting from the same side that Hayden Birdsong throws from, Thairo Estrada faces a tough challenge in today's game. Putting up a 6.2° launch angle over the last two weeks suggests that Thairo Estrada has been finding it challenging to lift the ball of late, which is a key component of hitting for power. Thairo Estrada's 86.1-mph average exit velocity is one of the worst in the league since the start of last season: 9th percentile. Grading out in the 2nd percentile, Thairo Estrada has put up a .252 wOBA (widely regarded as the top indicator of overall offense) since the start of last season.

Hitting from the same side that Hayden Birdsong throws from, Jordan Beck will have a tough matchup in today's matchup.

Jordan Beck has been lucky this year, notching a .336 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .300 — a .036 gap. By putting up a 4.52 K/BB rate this year, Jordan Beck has shown poor plate discipline, placing in the 13th percentile.

Antonio Senzatela will hold the platoon advantage over Willy Adames in today's game. The Colorado Rockies outfield defense projects as the 4th-strongest out of all the teams on the slate today. Playing on the road typically weakens hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Willy Adames today. Over the past two weeks, Willy Adames's Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 9.5% down to 0%. In the last 7 days, Willy Adames's 14.3% rate of hitting balls at a BABIP-optimizing launch angle (between -4° and 26°) has taken a nosedive compared to his seasonal rate of 39.8%.
