Pittsburgh @ Colorado props

When it comes to his overall offensive talent, Liover Peguero ranks in the 14th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X). Playing on the road generally lowers batter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Liover Peguero today.

Andrew McCutchen will be at a disadvantage playing away from home today. In the past week, Andrew McCutchen's exit velocity on flyballs has fallen off from his seasonal EV of 94.6 mph to 87.1 mph. From last season to this one, Andrew McCutchen's ability to hit the ball at a launch angle that optimizes home runs (23° to 34°) has decreased substantially, plummeting from 17.4% to 12.6%.

The #1 ballpark in the game for boosting batting average to right-handed hitters, per the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Coors Field. Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest elevation among all stadiums, which tends to lead to higher offensive output. The weather forecast expects temperatures in this game to reach the 2nd-highest level on the slate today at 90°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 11.5-mph in this game, the strongest of the day for batters. Austin Nola will possess the home field advantage in today's game, which ought to boost all of his stats.

Playing on the road typically lowers hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Joey Bart in today's matchup. Joey Bart's quickness has dropped off this season. His 27.03 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last year sits at 26.44 ft/sec now.
