Top Tier
Justin Turner (R), 3B LAD - Not only is Justin Turner (R) white hot right now, but he owns Kyle Freeland (L). He’s 13-for-32 (.404 AVG) off of him. He has a .379 wOBA this year against left-handed pitching and Freeland has allowed a .375 wOBA to RHH himself. Turner has homered four times over his last 10 games and has an 1.100 OPS over that span.
Jorge Polanco (B), SS MIN - Hard not to love the rhythm Polanco is in right now. He had another three hits on Friday moving his 10 game average to .410. Over that span, he has 4 HR, 7 R, 14 RBI and has even swiped three bags. Righties have given Patrick Sandoval (L) issues this year posting a .760 OPS and .333 wOBA against him.
Mid Tier
Austin Meadows (L), OF TB - Meadows has begun heating up, hitting in four straight games and has reached safely in five straight. Lefties have been J.C. Mejia’s downfall this season as they’re batting a cool .316 with a .960 OPS and a .409 wOBA. Meadows has hit 15 of his 16 bombs against right-handed pitching and owns a .378 wOBA against them himself.
Franmil Reyes (R), OF CLE - Hard not to like the offenses in this game because the Franimal is firmly in play here. He has done serious damage to opposing pitchers of the right hand variety. He’s belted 14 HR and has a wOBA sitting above .400. The rain in the forecast looks like it’ll hold off, so fire up Reyes with confidence.
Value Tier
Thairo Estrada (R), 3B/SS SF - The Giants have had a lot of injuries this year and the guys they have to replace them have been tremendous. Estrada has been great at the dish, hitting .433 over his last 10 games as he’s riding a five-game hitting streak. He’s crushing right-handed pitching to the tune of a .387 AVG and .451 wOBA. Pirates starter Wil Crowe (R) has struggled with same handed hitters, allowing them to bat .329 with a 1.000 OPS.
Akil Baddoo (L), OF DET - At this point, Baddoo is only in the lineup against righties, but he’s damn good against them, hence why he hits leadoff for DET. All eight of his homers this year have come off RHP and he has a .297 AVG and .392 wOBA against them. Just over his last six games, he has three homers and 11 runs batted in. He’s rollin’ right now.
