The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Shane McClanahan to be on a bit of a short leash in this matchup, projecting a maximum of 32 pitches.. It is likely that we will see a Hitters Umpire (Dan Iassogna) in charge of the strike zone in today's game.. American Family Field sits at the 8th-highest altitude in Major League Baseball.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) expects Brandon Woodruff to be limited in this game, projecting a maximum of 77 pitches.. It is likely that we will see a Hitters Umpire (Dan Iassogna) in charge of the strike zone in today's game.. American Family Field sits at the 8th-highest altitude in Major League Baseball. High elevation tends to lead to more offense.. Given that flyball pitchers struggle the most against groundball hitters, Brandon Woodruff (39.9% FB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this game with 2 GB hitters in Tampa Bay's projected batting order.. It may come as a surprise, but fastballs are generally a pitcher's least effective pitch. Brandon Woodruff has used his fastball a lot since the start of last season, though: 61.7% of the time, checking in at the 100th percentile.
