Michael A. Taylor Total Hits Props • Pittsburgh
The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Truist Park as the 4th-best field in the game for righty batting average. Truist Park sits at the 3rd-highest elevation among all major league parks. High elevation tends to lead to better offense. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and this game is projected to have the 3rd-hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 87°. Hitting from the same side that Spencer Schwellenbach throws from, Michael A. Taylor faces a tough challenge today. Michael A. Taylor hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.5% — 96th percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting out towards the league's 5th-shallowest CF fences in today's game.
