Positives for the San Diego Padres Series Game 2 Game Today

The #4 field in the majors for boosting batting average to LHB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Truist Park.

,Among all major league stadiums, Truist Park’s CF fences are the 3rd-shallowest.

,Truist Park sits at the 3rd-highest altitude in the majors. High elevation generally leads to higher offensive output.

,Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather report projects the 3rd-hottest weather on the slate at 87°.

,Truist Park ranks as the #5 stadium in the majors for overall lefty offense, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).

,Given the 0.69 gap between Reynaldo Lopez’s 7.88 K/9 and his 8.57 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in baseball this year as it relates to strikeouts and should perform better going forward.

,Walker Buehler has relied on his cut-fastball 6.8% more often this year (24%) than he did last season (17.2%).

,Walker Buehler’s 2164-rpm fastball spin rate this year is in the 22nd percentile out of all starting pitchers.

,Given the 0.55 gap between Walker Buehler’s 8.19 K/9 and his 7.64 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the luckiest pitchers in Major League Baseball this year when it comes to strikeouts and should perform worse going forward.
