Just some sabernetric info. FYI Only. Hope it helps someone.

Evan Gattis
Opponent- Det (Boyd) L Park- @Hou
Houston is a fine place to hit, and Gattis is tied with Perez for 2nd in the league at his position with 17 homers this season. And then there's Matt Boyd. The poor guy has one of the lowest ground-ball rates in the league (31.9%), and has subsequently allowed 2.38 home runs per 9 innings this season. Why shouldn't Gattis grab one of those? He just might!

Adam Jones
Opponent- Oak (Graveman) R Park- @Bal
What we've seen in the last week, with 3 homers in 4 games, including 2 in the hitter's hell-hole of Safeco. Today, Jones will face the below average Graveman in his great home hitter's park, making this another nice spot. Don't sweat the righty/righty thing here, either. Jones has been about .050 OPS points better against right handed pitching during his career

Ryan Braun
Opponent- Phi (Harang) R Park- @Mil
After a 2 year hiatus from being useful, the Brewers' slugger has seen a resurgence in both power and speed this season, threatening a 25/25 season with nice counting stats to go with them. Now, Braun is a lot better against left handed pitching, but he's truly better against bad pitching - and that's what Aaron Harang represents. His 4.72 xFIP is the third worst in the majors among qualifying pitchers, which is to say, Ryan Braun will be able to hit this dude.

Mike Trout
Opponent- KC (Ventura) R Park- @KC
Trout is just as good against right and left handed pitching, and is an even bigger threat away from his home park, where hitters go to die. Yordano Ventura is a good name, but the 24 year old is still more prospect than producer at this point, and Trout could certainly be in line for one of his trademark monster games, here.

Talk about being a complete ass. Pretty obvious that he's saying Trout could be a good prop bet tonight. Also pretty obvious that good hitters don't always hit bad pitching & sometimes bad hitters actually hit great pitching. He was dead on predicting Jones & Braun would be having big days, which is pretty damn impressive. Picking individuals to have big days during a 162 game baseball season is definitely not the same as picking Aaron Rodgers to have 300 yards & 3 TD's against the Raiders or Redskins in an NFL game.

And he was dead wrong about Gattis, and Trout won't do nothing tonight either.
So we have a thread about four superstars facing two trash cans, a below avg guy, and an avg guy. Sounds about right that two out of the four will have big days. How's this useful information if the prop bets aren't even listed?

The guy is providing info and clearly marked it as FYI only. If you don't like it click out of this thread. Your post is far less useful than what he posted. Thank you for contributing nothing but a negative post.

And what, pray tell, is the useful info?

Don't feed the trolls. This ass obviously has no clue and wants a reaction.

Great info. Thanks.
