Cole and McHugh with the opportunity to redeem themselves from their bad performances against Arlington
Ball is juiced, again, which is going to cause more variability in pitching outings. Below is a quick look at the percentages of ball hit between 20 and 30 degrees for 95-105 mph and >105 mph (about 60% of homers are covered by these criteria, the sweet spot for homers). 2019 looks to be almost as juiced as 2017. In addition, batters are hitting more balls at the sweet spot.
I'm starting Kluber so we should have at least 5 runs by the 4th inning tomorrow. That's how it works for me this year in my dynasty league.
I clearly don't understand the statcast estimated distance as that one showed 343 feet and it landed on top of the fence.
