Jarren Duran Total Hits Props • Boston
Jarren Duran has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (39.1%) but may find it hard to clear baseball's deepest LF fences in today's matchup. Out of every team in action today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the Baltimore Orioles. Playing on the road generally weakens batter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Jarren Duran in today's matchup. In the past week's worth of games, Jarren Duran's 0% rate of hitting balls at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has taken a nosedive compared to his seasonal rate of 14.1%. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Jarren Duran's true offensive talent to be a .334, providing some evidence that he has been lucky this year given the .027 discrepancy between that mark and his actual .361 wOBA.
