COL at NYM
- Park-adjusted COL has been great vs RHP. 23% K-rate though.
- Impossible to gauge exactly who this Mets team is right now.
- Harvey has developed a definite 1 HR/9 issue this year. Allowing a .313 wOBA to LHB on a .253 BABIP.
- Rusin is TERRIBLE vs everyone.
MIL at CHC
- CHC owns a poor offense and a 24% K-rate.
- MIL offense struggling w/ the loss of CarGo and Parra.
- Haren allowing 1.5 HR/9 on a lot of hard contact. Luck peripherals have kept him from a gas can ERA. AWFUL vs LHB, and BABIP suggests he’ll be terrible vs RHB too.
PIT at STL
- STL offense is slowly turning things around.
- PIT is firing on all cylinders after starting the season off slow.
- Rooster’s 9.4% BB-rate and wOBA vs LHB remain the lone blemishes on his profile.
- Locke struggling with BB% again. Terrible vs LHB.
PHI at ARI
- PHI offense has been pathetic vs RHP. Still riding a bit of a hot streak over the last 60 days.
- Buchanan allowing lots of hard contact and lots of BB.
- Hellickson has been awful vs everyone.
- Buchanan terrible vs everyone.
WAS at LAD
- WAS struggling over the last 45 days, and not great vs RHP to begin with.
- LAD very strong vs RHP.
- Greinke inducing a ton of soft contact, which would seem to be a reason for his recent success, and the reason for his BABIP success.
- Ross struggling against LHB.
CIN at SD
- SD is hopelessly bad, especially vs RHP.
- Lorenzen giving HR’s to everyone and an ungodly BB-rate. TERRIBLE vs LHB.
OAK at TOR
- TOR is hyper-elite on offense now, and the numbers back that up.
- OAK continues to hold down the distinction as the worst offense in MLB for around 45 days now.
- Graveman showing a real HR/9 problem. .325+ wOBA allowed to both sides of the plate.
- Hutchison allowing around 1 HR/9. Reverse split caused by BABIP, but still .320-ish+ allowed to both sides of the plate.
NYY at CLE
- CLE is finally starting to swing a decent stick again after being awful for most of the last two months.
- NYY continue to challenge TOR as the top overall offense in the AL. They smash RHP.
- Carrasco may be the unluckiest pitcher in baseball.
- Severino might just be a stud in the making.
LAA at CWS
- CWS are one of the worst teams in baseball vs LHP, but they have been a consistent top-10 offense over the last 45 days.
- LAA is hungover after their offensive explosion from about a month ago.
- Santiago 22.5% K-rate seems optimistic given the 8.8 SwSt%. Giving a lot of hard contact too. Slight struggles vs RHB, BABIP vs both sides of the plate are suspect.
- Rodon terrible control and decent K numbers. Allowing .394 wOBA to RHB on an equally high BABIP.
DET at KAN
- DET is fading fast with the loss of key bats.
- Anibal struggling with 1.5 HR/9 after skating by for two years. HUGE reverse split.
- Yordano struggling with HR’s this year and allowing a lot of hard contact. .315+ wOBA to both sides of the plate.
TEX at MIN
- MIN is plummeting offensively.
- TEX has flirted with top-10 status vs RHP all year long, and they feast on pitch to contact guys.
- Gallardo pitching to contact with an 8.9% BB-rate. wOBA vs LHB seems low considering his BABIP.
- Gibson is better than you think he is, but tonight isn’t his night.
BAL at SEA
- SEA is finally hitting like they should have been all along with Cruz and Cano back to their old selves.
- BAL is top-10 vs RHP, and finally starting to wake up after being awful for the last month.
- Tillman 8.8% BB-rate. Showing a big reverse split this season.
- Walker K-rate and SwSt% are rising, but still allowing hard contact. Big reverse split
BOS at MIA
- MIA is just bad vs everything.
- BOS is terrible vs LHP, although they have solid individual pieces vs them. Bottom-5 offense over the last 30 days.
- Wright allowing a lot of hard contact. Showing a reverse split.
ATL at TAM
- ATL ended up just as bad as we thought they would be, although it took a Freeman injury and a fire sale to finish them off.
- TAM has generally been bad vs RHP this season, but they have been a top-10 offense over the last 30 days.
- Erasmo is one of the biggest anomalies with an average K-rate with a 12.2 SwSt%.
- Perez has shown awful control and struggles vs LHB.
HOU at SF
- SF one of the best offenses in baseball.
- HOU is great vs LHP, but they also have a high season-long K-rate. The K-rate has plummeted over the last 45 days though.
- Kazmir has been a little lucky.
