Why this pick
3.0 🐾
LEAN
  • Oriole Park at Camden Yards suppresses HRs (88)
  • Crushes 2/3 of SP's top pitches (FF, SI)
  • Historical sweet spot in the order: #3 (38% of career HRs)
  • 90°F — ball flies in warm air
  • Park drag (88)
  • Pitcher high contact-quality allowed (13.5% brl)

Tip: cross-reference the matchup math with your sportsbook line — only fire when your model edge clears the juice.

🐾 Jade-ringed cells = top 4 HR-vulnerability flags (above-league BRL%-A, HH%-A, Pull%, xwOBA on this pitch). The pitches getting hammered. ⚡ PUT-AWAY = his go-to out-pitch (highest 2-strike K rate · 26.5% put-away); a 🐾 EXPLOIT tag means even that pitch is getting hit hard. Platoon detail below breaks each pitch into vs-LHB / vs-RHB — the jade-tagged side is the one hitting it hardest (the exploit), and the ⚡ PUT-AWAY tag marks his top out-pitch separately vs each hand.
