Dan Iassogna projects as a Huge Hitters Umpire and is scheduled to be behind the plate in today's game.. Progressive Field sits at the 7th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums. High elevation usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 10.1-mph in this contest, the 3rd-strongest of the day for bats.. Playing on the road typically lowers pitcher stats in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Cole Ragans in today's game.. With a 2.44 difference between Cole Ragans's 13.94 K/9 and his 11.50 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it's safe to say he's been one of the most fortunate pitchers in MLB since the start of last season in terms of strikeouts and ought to see negative regression the rest of the season.
