The leading projection system (THE BAT) profiles Wrigley Field as the 7th-worst stadium in the game for LHB batting average.. Extreme flyball bats like Brett Baty are generally less successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Edward Cabrera..

Brett Baty is an extreme groundball hitter and squares off against the strong infield defense of Chicago (#2-best of all teams today).. Playing on the road generally reduces hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Brett Baty today.
