Wood has been one of Washington’s top bats all season, coming in with 15 doubles, 19 home runs, and 44 RBI. He also fits this type of prop well because he brings power, run-scoring upside, and RBI equity in the middle of the Nationals lineup.
The matchup with Emerson Hancock is not one I’m scared away from. Hancock has been solid, but Wood’s profile gives him multiple ways to contribute. If he gets on base, Washington has enough contact behind him to bring him around, and if Hancock makes a mistake in the zone, Wood has the power to cash this in one swing. Hancock has been overperforming this season too with a 2.74 ERA vs a 4.39 xERA. He's in the 14th percentile in hard-hit% and 15th in barrel%. 🧊
