Park Predictors - Week 11
Examining the park influence for hitters, pitchers as you prepare for the week ahead
In Park Predictors, we look at favorable matchups for hitters and pitchers based on where they are playing this week and the MLB DW Park Factors, which look at four years' worth of data for MLB ballparks.
Here’s a look at the June 1-7:
HITTERS
Milwaukee Brewers
This is a very rough week for hitters, with pitchers’ parks getting most of the work. But the Brewers with four games at home and three in Colorado could be the one bright light.
What if I told you that Milwaukee’s home park was better for left-handed power than Coors Field. Shocking, I know. It also helps Christian Yelich, Brice Turang, Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell play up their average power. Milwaukee left-handed hitters have 17 home runs at home versus nine on the road this season.
That home/away split in power will be put to the test at Coors Field. Milwaukee has hit two-thirds of their home runs at home. But Brewers’ right-handed power hitters William Contreras, Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn should have a chance to improve those numbers during the weekend in Colorado.
