San Diego @ Detroit props

Jose Iglesias is projected to hit 6th in the batting order in this game. Hitting from the same side that Reese Olson throws from, Jose Iglesias encounters a tough challenge in today's matchup. Jose Iglesias has an 82nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.3%) and will be challenged by MLB's 10th-deepest RF fences today. Typically, bats like Jose Iglesias who hit a lot of flyballs tend to perform worse when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Reese Olson. Jose Iglesias will be at a disadvantage playing away from home in today's matchup.

Reese Olson will have the handedness advantage against Manny Machado today. Manny Machado hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.7% — 96th percentile) and will be challenged by the game's 2nd-deepest CF fences in today's matchup. Playing on the road generally weakens batter stats in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Manny Machado today.

Reese Olson will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Fernando Tatis Jr. in today's matchup. Fernando Tatis Jr. hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.1% — 89th percentile) and will be challenged by MLB's 2nd-deepest CF fences today. Playing on the road typically diminishes hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Fernando Tatis Jr. in today's game. The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Fernando Tatis Jr.'s true offensive skill to be a .387, indicating that he has been lucky this year given the .067 discrepancy between that figure and his actual .454 wOBA.

Batting from the same side that Reese Olson throws from, Oscar Gonzalez will not have the upper hand today. Oscar Gonzalez hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of baseball's 2nd-deepest CF fences in today's game. Extreme flyball batters like Oscar Gonzalez tend to be less successful against extreme flyball pitchers like Reese Olson. Playing on the road typically diminishes batter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Oscar Gonzalez in today's game.

Comerica Park has the 2nd-deepest CF dimensions in Major League Baseball. Reese Olson will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Xander Bogaerts in today's matchup. Xander Bogaerts will be at a disadvantage playing away from home in today's matchup. As it relates to his batting average, Xander Bogaerts has been lucky since the start of last season. His .265 rate has been significantly inflated relative to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Statcast-based Expected Batting Average (xBA) at .244. Xander Bogaerts has compiled a .288 Expected wOBA (xwOBA) since the start of last season, grading out in the 22nd percentile for offensive skills according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.

Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Martin Maldonado's 94-mph exit velocity on flyballs (an advanced metric to study power) is in the 78th percentile since the start of last season. Martin Maldonado's 17.8° launch angle (a reliable stat to measure a hitter's ability to lift the ball for power) is among the highest in Major League Baseball: 83rd percentile.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Gleyber Torres in the 86th percentile when assessing his batting average ability. Gleyber Torres is projected to hit 2nd in the batting order in today's game. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Given Kyle Hart's large platoon split, Gleyber Torres will have a big advantage batting from the opposite side of the dish today. Home field advantage generally improves batter metrics across the board, and Gleyber Torres will hold that advantage in today's game.

Gavin Sheets is projected to bat 2nd in the batting order today. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Gavin Sheets will hold the platoon advantage over Reese Olson in today's game. In comparison to his 87.8-mph average last year, Gavin Sheets's exit velocity has noticeably risen this season, now sitting at 91.2 mph. Gavin Sheets has been hot recently, tallying a .402 wOBA in the last two weeks' worth of games.

When estimating his BABIP ability, Riley Greene is projected as the 6th-best hitter in the game by the leading projection system (THE BAT X). Riley Greene is projected to bat 3rd in the lineup in this matchup. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Home field advantage typically improves hitter metrics across the board, and Riley Greene will hold that advantage in today's matchup. Despite posting a .280 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Riley Greene has experienced some negative variance given the .058 discrepancy between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .338.

When estimating his overall offensive skill, Spencer Torkelson ranks in the 79th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X). Spencer Torkelson is penciled in 5th on the lineup card today. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Because of Kyle Hart's large platoon split, Spencer Torkelson will have an enormous advantage hitting from the opposite side of the dish today. Home field advantage generally bolsters hitter stats across the board, and Spencer Torkelson will hold that advantage in today's matchup.

Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Batting from the opposite that Reese Olson throws from, Tyler Wade will have an edge today. Based on Statcast data, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Expected wOBA (.290) implies that Tyler Wade has had some very poor luck since the start of last season with his .255 actual wOBA.

Andy Ibanez is projected to bat 4th on the lineup card today. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Because of Kyle Hart's large platoon split, Andy Ibanez will have a huge advantage batting from the opposite side of the plate in this game. Home field advantage typically improves hitter metrics across the board, and Andy Ibanez will hold that advantage in today's matchup. Andy Ibanez's ability to hit the ball at a HR-maximizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has increased from last season to this one, increasing from 14.7% to 20.7%.

Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest elevation among all major league stadiums, which often leads to higher offensive output. Javier Baez will hold the platoon advantage over Kyle Hart today... and the cherry on top, Hart has a large platoon split. Hitters such as Javier Baez with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Kyle Hart who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum. Javier Baez will benefit from the home field advantage today, which figures to improve all of his stats. In terms of his wOBA and overall offense, Javier Baez has had bad variance on his side since the start of last season. His .235 mark falls considerably below the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Statcast-based Expected wOBA (xwOBA) at .272.
