Alex Verdugo Total Hits Props • NY Yankees
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Alex Verdugo in the 96th percentile when estimating his batting average talent. Alex Verdugo has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this season (93% of the time), but he is projected to hit 4th in the lineup in this matchup. Built 602 feet above sea level, American Family Field has the 8th-highest elevation in the league, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to better offense. In terms of temperature and humidity, the weather report projects for the best hitting conditions on the slate. Given Joe Ross's large platoon split, Alex Verdugo will have an enormous advantage hitting from the opposite side of the dish in today's matchup.
