Matt Shaw Total Hits Props • Chi. Cubs
Wrigley Field sits at the 10th-highest elevation in the league. High elevation usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer whiffs), and this game is expected to have the 2nd-hottest temperature of all games today at 58°. Matt Shaw pulls a lot of his flyballs (33.9% — 76th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards the game's 6th-shallowest LF fences in today's game. Matt Shaw will possess the home field advantage today, which should boost all of his stats.
