Matt Thaiss Total Hits Props • LA Angels
The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Angel Stadium as the 7th-best ballpark in the majors for LHB BABIP. High temperatures are strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather report predicts the 3rd-hottest temperature on the slate today at 88°. The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 8.1-mph in this match-up, the 3rd-best of the day for batters. The New York Mets infield defense grades out as the 5th-weakest among all the teams playing today. Home field advantage generally improves batter stats in all categories, and Matt Thaiss will hold that advantage today.
