EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Ronald Acuna Jr. ranks as the 7th-best batter in the game.. Ronald Acuna Jr. is projected to hit 1st on the lineup card in today's game.. Truist Park projects as the #5 park in the league for RHB batting average, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Truist Park sits at the 3rd-highest elevation among all major league stadiums. High elevation often leads to higher offensive output.. The weather forecast predicts temperatures in this contest to reach the 2nd-highest level on the slate at 87°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).

Shane McClanahan has been sharp lately, posting a 2.82 FIP and allowing a barrel rate below 10% across his last two starts. He faces a struggling Marlins lineup hitting just .199 with a .299 wOBA over the last week. Junior Caminero rounds out the SGP, carrying a 66.7% hard-hit rate and .500 average across his last six games.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Heriberto Hernandez in the 82nd percentile as it relates to his home run ability.. Heriberto Hernandez has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (58% of the time), but he is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card in today's game.. Heriberto Hernandez will hold the platoon advantage over Shane McClanahan in today's game.. Out of every team playing today, the worst infield defense is that of the the Tampa Bay Rays.. Home field advantage generally bolsters batter stats in all categories, and Heriberto Hernandez will hold that advantage today.

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 Cleveland Guardians rank 24th in OBP and 29th in average against right-handed pitching. Hitting for power at Globe Life Field is difficult to do, and they aren’t well-equipped to string together hits against Leiter.

The Texas Rangers average almost a full run less per game at home. Playing in such a pitcher-friendly environment should help Bibee mask his problems.

Playable to -125.

Tanner Bibee has really struggled on the road, posting a 5.96 ERA and alarming underlying metrics to boot.

With Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager healthy again, the Texas Rangers have a more dangerous lineup to slow down.

Back the Rangers to -125.

Jacob Misiorowski leads the majors in strikeouts and K/9, with the bulk of his punchouts coming via his 100 mph four-seamer. The Rockies have struck out more vs. the four-seamer than any other team in baseball. The Brewers starter will rack up tons of Ks tonight.

Jake McCarthy has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (64% of the time), but he is projected to hit 1st in the batting order in this matchup.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Coors Field as the best field in the game for run-scoring.. Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest altitude among all stadiums, which generally leads to better offense.. This matchup is forecasted to have the 13th-most favorable weather for pitching among all the games scheduled today.. The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 16.1-mph in this match-up, the strongest of the day for bats.

This is a matchup between what might be the league’s two worst offenses. The Padres (.289) and Mets (.292) are at the bottom of the league in wOBA, take up the bottom two spots in OPS, and both have a heavy lean to the Under this year. I'm betting against these lineups and taking the Under tonight.

Batters are teeing off Griffin Canning with an average exit velocity of 92.4 MPH and an 11.5% barrel rate. When he’s not giving up bombs, Canning is allowing 4.9 walks per nine innings. I like the Mets to get to the Padres starter and come away with the win tonight.

Dodgers SP Yoshinobu Yamamoto has thrived at avoiding contact this season, with a 29.9% whiff rate driven by his nasty fastball/splitter combo. His stellar command has also led to a 5.6% walk rate ranking in the 90th percentile. The Angels have the eighth-highest K% vs. RHP over the past two weeks, and aside from Mike Trout, I don’t see many matchup advantages.

When the sinker isn’t working for Jack Kochanowicz, he has to revert to a four-seam fastball that opponents are posting a .241 ISO and a 53.5% FB% against in 2026. An inability to miss bats is simply inviting trouble from this patient Dodgers lineup, which has the highest hard-hit% and third-lowest GB% over the past two weeks.
