Luis Garcia Jr. has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (82% of the time), but he is projected to bat 8th on the lineup card in this game.. Cold weather is strongly correlated with less offense (and more whiffs), and the weather forecast calls for the 2nd-coldest weather of all games today at 55°.. Playing on the road typically reduces hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Luis Garcia Jr. in today's matchup.. Over the past two weeks, Luis Garcia Jr.'s Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 6% down to 0%.. Luis Garcia Jr.'s ability to hit the ball at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has declined from last year to this one, decreasing from 15.3% to 10.1%.

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..

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.
