Kauffman Stadium sits at the 4th-highest elevation among all stadiums. High elevation generally leads to higher offensive output.. High temperatures are strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather forecast expects the hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 91°.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 8.1-mph in this game, the 2nd-most-favorable of the day for hitters.. Extreme flyball batters like Jac Caglianone are generally more successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Bailey Falter.. Home field advantage generally bolsters batter metrics across the board, and Jac Caglianone will hold that advantage today.

The #1 ballpark in Major League Baseball for suppressing home runs to RHB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Kauffman Stadium.. HRs are generally less common at stadiums with deep fences, and Kauffman Stadium has the 2nd-deepest in Major League Baseball.. As a switch-hitter who bats worse from the 0 side of the plate, Bryan Reynolds will bat from his weak side against Kris Bubic today.. Playing on the road typically lowers hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Bryan Reynolds in today's matchup.. With a .290 wOBA in the last two weeks' worth of games, Bryan Reynolds has been struggling at the plate.
