Batting average only takes us so far as a standalone statistic, especially around these parts when we're looking for baseballs to get punished. But when we're rounding the bend into the final week of May and the hitter in question is sporting a .345 average after hitting .268 and .245 over the past two seasons, it starts to mean a whole lot.

That hitter is Paul Goldschmidt, the 37-year-old who seems to be undergoing a bit of a late-career renaissance, and finding form that seemed lost during his debut season with the New York Yankees.

Make no mistake, he's doing damage too, even if Goldschmidt has cleared the wall a modest five times. His .889 OPS is 19th leaguewide, and it's significantly higher than the veteran's .716 from last year.

It's possible Goldschmidt's 30-plus homer seasons are behind him, but there are under-the-hood metrics that lead to optimism more deep shots will come soon. That includes a launch-angle sweet spot rate in the 86th percentile, according to Baseball Savant.

He's also slugging .487 against sinkers, a pitch tonight's Los Angeles Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz throws 46.9% of the time. Kochanowicz has produced a wretched 5.03 ERA, and he's part of a woeful Angels pitching staff that's tied for the fourth-most homers allowed in MLB.

As an added bit of money-making fun, BetMGM is offering a rogue price to back Goldschmidt tonight compared to several of our other best MLB betting sites. That includes FanDuel, which often puts out the most appealing prices in this market. FanDuel sits at +480, while Caesars is even further down at +450, both miles shorter than the +600 at BetMGM.
