Kauffman Stadium profiles as the #2 park in baseball for LHB batting average, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT). Built 886 feet above sea level, Kauffman Stadium has the 4th-highest altitude in the league, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to higher offensive output. Batting from the opposite that Drew Thorpe throws from, Michael Massey will have an advantage today. Among every team in action today, the 2nd-weakest outfield defense is that of the the Chicago White Sox. Chicago's 3rd-worst outfield defense of all teams on the slate creates a favorable matchup for Michael Massey, who tends to hit a lot of flyballs.
