Park Predictors - Week 9
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 May 18-24:
HITTERS
New York Yankees
A seven-game homestand brings AL East foes Toronto and Tampa Bay to the Bronx, where the Yankees are posting a 142 wRC+ as a team, best in MLB.
New York is also posting league bests in BB%, ISO, runs, stolen bases, and home runs while at home. Numbers are even more impressive because Yankee Stadium ranks 10th-best for left-handed home runs, 17th for right-handed home runs and 24th for runs.
