Positive Match Player Stats for Guardians vs Nationals Series Game 2 Matchup Today

The Cleveland Guardians have 4 bats in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Nolan Jones, Bo Naylor, Daniel Schneemann, Jhonkensy Noel).

Nationals Park’s elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest among all parks, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to lower offensive output.

Home field advantage typically boosts pitcher metrics in all categories, and Bradley Lord will hold that advantage today.

Negative Match Player Stats with Guardians vs Nationals Series Game 2

The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Bradley Lord in the 23rd percentile when assessing his strikeout skill.

Tallying 74.1 adjusted pitches per start this year on average, Bradley Lord places in the 4th percentile.

With 7 batters who bat from the opposite side in the opposing team’s projected batting order, Bradley Lord will not have the upper hand while lacking the platoon advantage in most plate appearances in this matchup.

Given that groundball pitchers struggle the most against flyball hitters, Bradley Lord (45.5% GB% according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) will be a bit disadvantaged in this game with 2 FB hitters in Cleveland’s projected lineup.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Ben Lively in the 14th percentile when it comes to his strikeout ability.

Because of his large platoon split, Ben Lively will have a tough challenge being matched up with 7 bats in the projected batting order who bat from the opposite side in this outing.

Considering that groundball hitters hold a big advantage over flyball pitchers, Ben Lively and his 37.8% underlying GB% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT) finds himself in a difficult position in today’s outing squaring off against 7 opposing GB batters.

Playing on the road typically lowers pitcher metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Ben Lively today.

Ben Lively has recorded an 18.4% strikeout rate since the start of last season, checking in at the 17th percentile.
