Positives for the Washington Nationals Series Game 2 Game Today

The #7 venue in the league for boosting BABIP, per the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Truist Park.

,Built 981 feet above sea level, Truist Park has the 3rd-highest elevation among all major league parks, which often leads to higher offensive output.

,The weather forecast predicts temperatures in this contest to reach the 2nd-highest level on the schedule today at 81°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).

,Jake Irvin has used his curveball 6.4% less often this year (23.5%) than he did last season (29.9%).

,Out of all starting pitchers, Jake Irvin’s fastball velocity of 92.1 mph ranks in the 21st percentile this year.

,Grant Holmes has gone to his sinker 7.6% more often this season (7.8%) than he did last year (0.2%).

,Grant Holmes has had some very good luck with his ERA this year; his 3.80 rate is significantly deflated relative to his 4.91 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching, an estimator of ERA that focuses on the things a pitcher has the most control over).

,In his previous outing, Jake Irvin turned in a great performance and put up 7 strikeouts.

Negatives with the Atlanta Braves Series Game 2 Game Today

In Major League Baseball, Truist Park’s left field fences are the 3rd-deepest.

,Out of every team today, the 2nd-strongest infield defense is that of the Washington Nationals.

,Jake Irvin was on point in his last start and allowed 2 ER.

,Jake Irvin has had bad variance on his side thus far when it comes to his ERA this year; his 5.59 figure is considerably higher than his 4.70 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching, an estimator of ERA that focuses on the things a pitcher has the most control over).

,Given the 2.27 discrepancy between Jake Irvin’s 9.84 K/9 and his 7.57 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 MLB this year as it relates to strikeouts and ought to see worse results going forward.
