Ha-Seong Kim Total Hits Props • Atlanta
Truist Park grades out as the #5 ballpark in the majors for righty BABIP, via the leading projection system (THE BAT). Built 981 feet above sea level, Truist Park has the 3rd-highest elevation among all parks, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to higher offensive output. The weather report projects temperatures in this matchup to reach the 2nd-highest level of the day at 82°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). Ha-seong Kim will have the benefit of the home field advantage in today's game, which should bolster all of his stats. When it comes to his batting average, Ha-seong Kim has suffered from bad luck since the start of last season. His .230 BA falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .249.
