Carlos Cortes's BABIP talent is projected in the 13th percentile by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Carlos Cortes hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.6% — 88th percentile) but may find it hard to clear MLB's 6th-deepest CF fences in today's matchup.. Playing on the road typically lowers hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Carlos Cortes in today's game.. Putting up a 0.5° launch angle in the past week suggests that Carlos Cortes has been finding it challenging to lift the ball lately, which is a key component of hitting for power.. Carlos Cortes has had positive variance on his side thus far when it comes to with his wOBA since the start of last season; his .391 mark is quite a bit higher than his .318 Expected wOBA, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.

It is likely that we will see a Huge Hitters Umpire (Shane Livensparger) behind the plate today..

The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 9.6-mph in this match-up, the 2nd-best of the day for hitters.. Playing on the road generally weakens pitcher metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Max Meyer in today's game.. Considering the 0.86 deviation between Max Meyer's 9.63 K/9 and his 8.77 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it's safe to say he's been one of the most fortunate pitchers in the league since the start of last season as it relates to strikeouts and figures to negatively regress in future games.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Nick Loftin in the 13th percentile when estimating his BABIP ability.. Nick Loftin is projected to bat 9th in the lineup in this matchup.. Nick Loftin pulls many of his flyballs (35.8% — 86th percentile) but may find it hard to clear the game's deepest LF fences today.. Nick Loftin's footspeed has dropped off this season. His 28.37 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last season sits at 27.63 ft/sec now.. The standard deviation of Nick Loftin's launch angle since the start of last season (31.1°) is in the 12th percentile. A high figure like this tends to lead to a lower batting average on balls in play.
