Jeff McNeil Total Hits Props • NY Mets
According to THE BAT projection system, Citi Field ranks as the 28nd venue in Major League Baseball for LHB BABIP. Dry weather has a small but significant correlation with less offense (and more strikeouts), and the weatherman calls for the 2nd-lowest humidity of all games on the slate today at 27%. In the last two weeks' worth of games, Jeff McNeil's seasonal exit velocity of 85.7-mph has dropped off to 83.3-mph. Jeff McNeil's ability to hit the ball at a HR-maximizing launch angle (between -4° and 26°) has decreased from last season to this one, going from 16.7% to 9.6%. His batting average since the start of last season, which currently stands at .317, is significantly higher than his .298 Expected Batting Average (as interpreted by THE BAT X's analysis of Statcast data), implying that Jeff McNeil has had considerable fortune on his side.
