Juan Yepez Total Hits Props • Washington
Juan Yepez is projected to bat 3rd in the lineup today. Truist Park projects as the #4 venue in Major League Baseball for right-handed batting average, via the leading projection system (THE BAT). Truist Park sits at the 3rd-highest altitude among all major league parks. High elevation tends to lead to more offense. The weather report projects temperatures in this matchup to reach the 2nd-highest level of all games on the slate at 81°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts). Juan Yepez will hold the platoon advantage against Chris Sale today... and even more favorably, Sale has a large platoon split.
