Detroit @ Boston props

Built just 16 feet above sea level, Fenway Park has one of the lowest altitudes in Major League Baseball, which often leads to lower offensive output. Dry weather has a small yet noteworthy link with less offense (and more strikeouts), and the weather report forecasts the 4th-lowest humidity on the slate at 34%. Cooper Criswell will hold the platoon advantage over Gio Urshela today... and it's a particular mismatch considering Criswell's huge platoon split. Playing on the road generally reduces hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Gio Urshela today. Gio Urshela's quickness has declined this year. His 26.18 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed last year sits at 25.32 ft/sec now.
