Pavin Smith Total Hits Props • Arizona
The #2 field in the league for boosting BABIP to lefties, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Chase Field. Built 1059 feet above sea level, Chase Field has the 2nd-highest altitude among all major league parks, which tends to lead to more offense. Out of all the teams in action today, the weakest outfield defense is that of the Washington Nationals. Home field advantage typically improves batter stats across the board, and Pavin Smith will hold that advantage today. Pavin Smith has seen a significant improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs this season; just compare his 94.4-mph average to last year's 91.7-mph average.
