Liam Hicks has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this year (82% of the time), but he is projected to hit 4th in the batting order in this matchup. The #3 park in MLB for boosting batting average to left-handed hitters, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Oracle Park. The shallowest RF dimensions among all major league stadiums are found in Oracle Park. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 10.4-mph in this match-up, the 2nd-most-favorable of the day for bats. Liam Hicks will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Hayden Birdsong in today's matchup.
