Washington @ New York props

Harold Ramirez has been replaced by a pinch-hitter 26% of the time when starting against a lefty on the mound this year. The #1 ballpark in MLB for suppressing batting average to right-handed hitters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Citi Field. Citi Field's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the league, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to worse offense. Playing on the road generally weakens hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Harold Ramirez in today's game. Harold Ramirez's average exit velocity has fallen off this season; his 89-mph average last season has fallen off to 86.2-mph.
