The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Evan Carter in the 88th percentile when it comes to his BABIP skill. Evan Carter has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (67% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd on the lineup card in this game. The Tropicana Field roof projects to be closed today, making conditions in this contest 15° hotter than the average outdoor game on the slate today — favorable for offense. Evan Carter will have the handedness advantage over Zach Eflin in today's matchup. The Tampa Bay Rays have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Evan Carter has a strong chance of holding the platoon advantage against every reliever all game.
