HR Probability
14.2%
medium confidence

Murakami's 22.9% barrel rate grades 42% above league average and anchors the probability, while his 3.6% HR-per-PA clip adds modest secondary lift; Severino's 1.16 HR/9 and 6.0% barrel% allowed provide slight headwind but insufficient to materially suppress the matchup odds.

How to Read These Numbers

Percentile bars show where each stat ranks within a reasonable league context, not strict percentiles. Values closer to the right edge are elite; left edge is poor. Read the full methodology for how we build HR probabilities and why most BvP splits aren't used.
