Through his last 45 batters faced, Nick Lodolo has allowed a BABIP of .458. That means that nearly 46 percent of balls hit into play have been hits. That number is certainly going to decrease as he continues to pitch. Meanwhile, he was still able to strike out 31.1% of batters faced in the last 30 days.

The Cardinals have been pretty weak against lefties, despite having a nearly all right-handed lineup, and have just four players with a wOBA above .253 in the last 30 days against lefties using the projected lineup.

Meanwhile, Miles Mikolas will take the hill for the Cardinals. He’s had it much better, limiting teams to a .227 BABIP in the last 30 days. He’s also allowed just 4.9% of batters to walk in that time frame.

Today, he’ll take on a Reds lineup that has a .126 ISO and wOBA of .290 with 25.9% of strikeouts and just 4.9% of walks in the last 30 days using their projected lineup. Mikolas should be just fine tonight.
