He has allowed nine home runs in total this season with five of them coming at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has struggled against left handed hitters like Lowe this season allowing eight of his nine home runs while posting a .473 slugging percentage against compared to right handed hitters posting a .352 slugging percentage against. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his one start against Pittsburgh this season he didn\u2019t allow a home run but he was atrocious allowing eight earned runs in just 1.1 innings pitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last week Lowe has posted a .429 batting average and .714 slugging percentage <strong>so let\u2019s take him at +300 to hit a home run tonight<\/strong>.
