MLB Batter vs Pitcher Matchups Today
Here’s some insight on today’s top 5 model plays!
- Kyle Stowers (MIA) vs. Carlos Carrasco (ATL) – Stowers brings elite LHH power (.321 ISO, 169 wRC+ vs. RHP) against a washed-up Carrasco (.416 wOBA allowed, 46.2% hard contact).
- Shea Langeliers (ATH) vs Mitchell Parker (WSH) – Langeliers has been crushing LHP all year, ranking fourth in baseball in ISO vs southpaws (albeit a small-ish sample). Parker’s serving up meatballs to right-handed hitters like he’s working at a deli. That 30.2 vulnerability score isn’t an accident.
- Brent Rooker (ATH) vs Mitchell Parker (WSH) – Another Athletics’ crusher getting the Mitchell Parker special. Rooker’s power profile has him ranking 10th in wRC+ and 19th in ISO vs. LHP this year.
- Cal Raleigh (SEA) vs Shane Smith (CHW) – Big Dumper gets the platoon advantage here, and Smith’s 19.9 vulnerability score creates real opportunity. He’s simply a monster.
- Agustin Ramirez (MIA) vs Carlos Carrasco (ATL) – Another matchup vs. Carrasco. Ramirez doesn’t have Stowers’ elite profile, but when you’re facing a pitcher allowing .416 wOBA to righties, you don’t need to be perfect – you just need to be competent.
