Since the NBA is over (sigh) Ive decided to go Hammer Time on Total bases for flashpicks. Now, Its Tuesday, so you know everyone is worried about dingers. But tonight we're going to run a little "Just in case it hits the top of the wall" Insurance. Three guys to record 2 total bases, and for the purposes of winning money i also RR'd by 2 because im sick of losing by 1 leg.
Lets get down to business
He faces a lefty tonight. End of analysis.
So this didnt need much "looking back" as he hit two bombs off Carrasco last week in Houston. Those were the only two times he's seen him and he must like what he sees. Always a candidate to go over this line, it was a no brainer tn as Citi has a deep RCF and all were asking for is a double. Sporting an ABSURD .422 ISO and .344 BA against RHP this year Alvarez is a candidate not only clear this with one swing, but have a multiple hit game if we need.
There are a few things to look at when gauging hitting metrics and when the streams cross on two then it peaks your interest. Happ is hitting .346 (8/22) vs Castillo lifetime with three doubles and a hr. When you cross this with the wind blowing out to dead center, it sounds like a payday. Happ is a switch hitter who hits for slightly less power from the left side but a higher avg (good for 2 hits) but Castillo is far worse against lefties power wise.
