The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Target Field as the 10th-worst venue in the game for strikeouts.

Target Field sits at the 5th-highest altitude among all stadiums. High elevation generally leads to higher offensive output.

The wind projects to be blowing out to RF at 15.4-mph in this match-up, the 2nd-strongest of the day for batters.

Considering the 1.03 deviation between Spencer Arrighetti’s 10.49 K/9 and his 9.46 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the most fortunate pitchers in Major League Baseball since the start of last season as it relates to strikeouts and should negatively regress in future games.
