Positives for the Pittsburgh Pirates Game Today

Miles Mikolas’s higher utilization rate of his secondary pitches this season (55.6% compared to 49% last year) figures to work in his favor consider they are generally much more effective than fastballs.

Busch Stadium has the 9th-shortest fence height (on average) among all parks.

The St. Louis Cardinals infield defense grades out as the 15th-worst out of all the teams on the slate today.

With a 5.08 FIP this year (Fielding Independent Pitching, an ERA estimator that concentrates on the things a pitcher has the most control over), Miles Mikolas places in the 11th percentile.

Negatives with the St. Louis Cardinals Game Today

The leading projection system (THE BAT) forecasts Miles Mikolas in the 6th percentile when it comes to his strikeout talent.

Compared to the average pitcher, Miles Mikolas has been given a shorter leash than the typical pitcher this year, recording an -9.8 fewer adjusted pitches each outing.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Busch Stadium as the 2nd-worst field in the game for strikeouts.

A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and this game is predicted to have the highest temperatures of all games today at 82°.

Miles Mikolas’s 92.1-mph velocity on his fastball this season is a significant 1-mph fall off from last year’s 93.1-mph mark.

Busch Stadium profiles as the #26 venue in the game for home runs, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).

Busch Stadium has the 2nd-deepest RF fences in Major League Baseball.

Miles Mikolas turned in a great performance in his previous game started and conceded 2 ER.

Considering the 0.35 deviation between Miles Mikolas’s 5.17 ERA and his 4.82 estimated true talent ERA (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in MLB this year and figures to positively regress in future games.
