The Arizona Diamondbacks possess a highly productive offense against left-handed pitching, especially at home. They rank fifth in wOBA and third in ISO vs. lefties in Arizona. The Minnesota Twins should produce as well. Michael Soroka ranks in the 48th percentile in xBA so he’s not exactly untouchable. Play to -125.

Connor Prielipp ranks in the 25th percentile in Pitcher Run Value and struggles against right-handed hitters. That is far from ideal going up against the Arizona Diamondbacks, who excel against lefties and project to have seven or eight batters hit from the right-side on Friday night. Back Arizona to -190.

Jarren Duran's BABIP talent is projected in the 86th percentile by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Jarren Duran is penciled in 5th in the batting order in this matchup.. Among all parks, T-Mobile Park has the 10th-lowest average fence height.. Batting from the opposite that Bryce Miller throws from, Jarren Duran will have the upper hand in today's matchup.. Jarren Duran has a 91st percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.6%) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting them in the direction of the league's 9th-shallowest LF fences in today's game.

Dodgers righty Roki Sasaki sports a tidy 3.26 ERA at home, supported by an equally impressive 3.41 xFIP. The Orioles, on the flip side, haven’t traveled well with a 22nd-ranked road wOBA. Sasaki has also allowed just five hits across his past two home starts, and he’s surrendered four or fewer in four of his past five. Turning to Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson, he brings a lackluster 6.62 xERA and 5.19 xFIP against a lineup pacing the majors in xwOBA across the past 30 days. Finally, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy hits in the heart of the potent lineup and has posted an impressive .387 wOBA, .906 OPS, and .252 ISO against right-handed pitchers over the past three years.

Baltimore's bullpen has been one of the worst in baseball lately, posting a 7.78 FIP and 46.9% hard-hit rate over the last week. The Orioles have also generated a 42.2% hard-hit rate and 105 wRC+ over the last two weeks, giving both teams paths to offense.

Kyle Harrison squares off against Chris Sale. While Sale is an elite force for Atlanta, the Braves are priced too tightly against a dominant Milwaukee bullpen that leads the slate with a 3.23 SIERA and a blistering 12.48 K/9.

The #5 ballpark in the game for boosting batting average to LHB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Truist Park.. Among all major league parks, Truist Park's centerfield fences are the shallowest.. Built 981 feet above sea level, Truist Park has the 3rd-highest altitude in the league, which tends to lead to more offense.. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is forecasted to have the 3rd-highest temperatures of all games today at 86°.

Atlanta and Chicago send two of the best lineups in baseball to the dish, and they respectively rank eighth and third in wOBA against lefties for the campaign. The two clubs have also trended to the Over, and I'm particularly expecting White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay to struggle considering he's saddled with the fifth-highest xERA in baseball among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings this year.

I'm fading Chicago White Sox lefty Anthony Kay on Thursday. He's sporting the fifth-highest xERA among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings, after all. Plus, the Atlanta Braves enter ranked eighth in wOBA against southpaws for the season and sixth in overall xwOBA across the past 14 days.

The Yankees rank Top-3 in OPS, ISO, OBP, xWOBA, and hard hit rate when facing left-handed pitching. The Red Sox have hit righties very well over the past four weeks, sitting ninth in wOBA, ninth in ISO, and fourth in batting average. Play the Over to -120.

Ranger Suarez has started four games against teams ranking Top-10 in OPS vs. left-handed pitching, allowing 13 runs and posting a 6.13 ERA during those games. The New York Yankees lead the majors in OPS against lefties so they’re a prime candidate to cause Suarez problems. Playable to -145.

The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and are fourth in xwOBA while averaging 5.5 runs per game across the past 30 days, and the Braves ranks ninth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers and third in overall xwOBA, so I think this total is too low.

The Braves have dropped five of six while averaging just 2.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in wOBA without Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring), and it’s been a smoke-and-mirrors start for veteran lefty Martin Perez, and there’s serious statistical correction ahead of his .230 BABIP and 80.2% strand rate considering they’re both high-end marks about pitchers with at least 60 innings this season. San Francisco is just the offense to kick-start the regression, too. The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and fourth in xwOBA over the past 30 days, after all.
