Lars Nootbaar Total Hits Props • St. Louis

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Lars Nootbaar in the 93rd percentile when assessing his overall offensive skill. Nationals Park has the 10th-shallowest right field fences among all major league stadiums. The weather forecast calls for temperatures in this game to reach the highest level of the day at 97°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). Lars Nootbaar will probably have an edge against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the Washington Nationals only has 1 same-handed RP.
