  This season, Bryce Harper has experienced a significant improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs, now sitting at an average of 95.9 mph compared to last year’s 93.7 mph mark.

• Kyle Schwarber – Over/Under 0.5 Total Bases (-150/+115)
  Kyle Schwarber pulls a lot of his flyballs (42.6% — 100th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he’ll be hitting them towards MLB’s 3rd-shallowest RF fences in today’s game.
  Explain: This player’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the offense with the 4th-most strikeout-prone lineup in today’s games is the Boston Red Sox with a 24% underlying K%.
