Lawrence Butler Total Hits Props • Athletics
The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Sutter Health Park as the 8th-best venue in the majors for lefty base hits. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is expected to have the hottest weather of all games on the slate today at 87°. The wind projects to be blowing out to CF at 9.2-mph in this contest, the 4th-best of the day for bats. The Detroit Tigers outfield defense grades out as the 8th-worst among every team on the slate today. Home field advantage generally bolsters hitter metrics in all categories, and Lawrence Butler will hold that advantage in today's matchup.
