The #1 field in the league for boosting offensive stats, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Coors Field.. Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest elevation in the majors, which generally leads to higher offensive output.. The weather forecast calls for the 5th-most suitable hitting weather on the slate today, as it relates to temperature and humidity.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 8.1-mph in this match-up, the 5th-most-favorable of the day for hitters.. Michael Toglia has big-time power (90th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a sure thing (34.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Jonathan Cannon has a pitch-to-contact profile (2nd percentile K%) — great news for Toglia.

Any Runs Scored in 1st Inning? (No: -110)
Pick made: 8 hours ago

The Rangers are just 28th in the majors in OPS (.660) and tonight they'll be on the road at pitcher-friendly PETCO Park. Texas is starting Patrick Corbin who is mediocre but tends to get off to good starts. The southpaw has a 1.20 ERA with an OBA of .140 in the first inning. Meanwhile, the Padres have an OPS of just .652 against lefties and they've gone ice-cold at the dish. They are batting .214 while plating 3.17 runs per game over the last 15 days.

Seager is tearing the cover off the ball, and there’s plenty of reason to believe that will continue against the San Diego Padres. For one, Seager is hitting .333 with a .417 ISO against cutters, sliders, and four-seam fastballs over the last month. Those are the pitches Kolek predominantly throws, setting up Seager to have success. Kolek is also getting ripped apart by left-handed bats like Seager. He has allowed a .290 average and 60.47% hard hit rate vs. lefties over the past month. Those are unbelievably bad numbers and far worse than what he’s managed against righties. Look for Seager, who has barreled up on at least one ball in seven straight games, to do some damage in this one.

When it comes to his overall offensive skill, Heliot Ramos ranks in the 90th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).. Heliot Ramos is projected to bat 2nd in the lineup today.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Sutter Health Park as the 6th-best ballpark in the majors for run-scoring.. Sutter Health Park has the 4th-lowest fences among all stadiums.. The wind projects to be blowing out to CF at 9.2-mph in this game, the 5th-best of the day for hitters.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) ranks Oneil Cruz as the league's 6th-best home run hitter.. Oneil Cruz is projected to hit 5th on the lineup card in this game.. T-Mobile Park has the 3rd-least fair ground among all major league stadiums — generally good for long-balls.. Because of Luis Castillo's large platoon split, Oneil Cruz will have a huge advantage hitting from the opposite side of the dish today.. Oneil Cruz is likely to have the upper hand against every reliever for the whole game, since the bullpen of the Seattle Mariners has just 1 same-handed RP.

T-Mobile Park has the 3rd-least fair ground among all major league stadiums — generally good for long-balls.. The switch-hitting Bryan Reynolds will have the advantage of batting from from his better side (0) today against Luis Castillo... and even better, Castillo has a large platoon split.. Bryan Reynolds has been hot of late, raising his seasonal exit velocity of 91.8-mph to 95.1-mph over the past two weeks.

Tarik Skubal struck out 13 batters in his last outing and will mow down a Guardians lineup that's posted a measly .588 OPS against him. With Cleveland starter Gavin Williams surrendering 10 earned runs over his last two starts, I'm all over Detroit cruising to victory in this AL Central clash.
