Jesús Sánchez Total Hits Props • Miami
Jesus Sanchez is projected to hit 5th in the batting order in this matchup. In the majors, Nationals Park's right field dimensions are the 10th-shallowest. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer whiffs), and this game is projected to have the 4th-hottest temperature on the slate today at 86°. Jesus Sanchez is apt to have the upper hand against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the Washington Nationals only has 1 same-handed RP. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jesus Sanchez's true offensive ability to be a .313, providing some evidence that he has been unlucky this year given the .036 difference between that mark and his actual .277 wOBA.
