So, should you choose Freeman or Olson (9/29/24)?

Batter vs pitcher

Freeman has faced Feltner 14 times, with a total OPS of .793. Conversely, Olson only has 2 plate appearances against Marsh so tough to reliably predict this one. Lean on the other splits on this page.

Weather impact

Heavy wind (blowing out), hot temps, ballpark elevation, etc can all have a big impact on long fly balls. An extra few feet can be the difference between warning track and a 3-run dinger. In Freeman's game, our HRForce Index at first pitch is 1.5 (50% more HRs expected). Meanwhile, Olson will be playing under an HRForce of 1.2 (20% more HRs expected). So, the ball will be flying better in Freeman's game. Weather edge goes to him.

Weekly Roster Lock Leagues

For those of you in leagues that require you to set your lineup before the start of each week, day offs can be a bummer. Everything else being equal, give the edge to players that play at least one more game a week. For the M-F week that includes 9/29/24, Freeman has 6 games scheduled, while Olson has 5. So, with one more game, that could make a difference, especially in H2H leagues where you need to pile up points. Slight advantage to Freeman.
