Reds vs Martin Perez
The Cincinnati Reds are gearing up to face off against the Texas Rangers and their starting pitcher, Martin Perez. While left-handed starters have performed well against the Reds in the past, other matchup data favors the home team. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key batters in this matchup.
Jonathan India is projected to bat first for the Reds and has an impressive OPS of .827 in his last 100 plate appearances. However, he has struggled against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Perez, batting just .211 in 57 at-bats. Tyler Stephenson, who is projected to bat fourth, has excelled at home over the last year, hitting .350 in 117 plate appearances. Wil Myers, batting fifth, has a tough matchup against Perez, with just one hit in six at-bats. However, he has a strong DK value tier of B and could still provide value.
Spencer Steer, projected to bat second, doesn’t have any specific matchup notes but has a DK value tier of B. Kevin Newman, who is projected to bat sixth, has struggled against left-handers with high groundball rates like Perez over his last 89 plate appearances, with a wOBA of just .288. However, his DK value tier is still respectable at D.
Stuart Fairchild, projected to bat third, has been slugging .577 in his last 27 plate appearances against pitchers with a similar repertoire to Perez. He has a strong DK value tier of B. Jose Barrero, who is projected to bat ninth, has limited matchup data but what is available favors Perez. Nick Senzel, projected to bat seventh, has been struggling at the plate recently with just a .067 batting average over the last five days. He still has a respectable DK value tier of C.
Curt Casali, projected to bat eighth, has a tough matchup as a right-handed batter with a high strikeout rate against Perez. He has only hit .214 in 70 at-bats against Perez over the last two seasons. Jake Fraley and TJ Friedl, both potential batters, have limited matchup data but have DK value tiers of E. Jason Vosler, another potential batter, has been struggling with just a .143 batting average over the last five days.
Finally, Luke Maile, projected to bat ninth, has been performing well against left-handers with high groundball rates like Perez, with a slugging percentage of .500 in his last 21 plate appearances. He has an impressive DK value tier of E.
Overall, the matchup data favors the Reds, and there are several strong batters who could provide value for your DK lineup, including India, Stephenson, Fairchild, and Maile. Keep an eye on Myers, who has a tough matchup but could still surprise.
Guardians vs Ryan Feltner
The Cleveland Guardians are facing off against the Colorado Rockies, and there are some interesting matchups to watch for. Jose Ramirez is projected to bat third and has a great matchup against Ryan Feltner, who relies heavily on the slider. Ramirez has been slugging .598 in his last 288 plate appearances against right-handers with similar tendencies to Feltner over the last two seasons.
Amed Rosario, who is projected to bat second, has a solid matchup as well, slugging .457 in his last 306 plate appearances against right-handers with low strikeout rates like Feltner.
Left-handed batter Steven Kwan has been hitting well against right-handers with average flyball rates, like Feltner, with a .337 average in his last 208 plate appearances. Andres Gimenez and Josh Naylor, who both hit the ball on the ground often, also have favorable matchups against Feltner with an OPS of .929 in their last 2 seasons.
Keep an eye on Josh Bell, who has been hot lately with an OPS of 1.185 in his last 14 at-bats over the last 5 days. Mike Zunino is also projected to have a decent game, slugging .519 in his last 83 plate appearances against right-handers with low strikeout rates like Feltner.
Overall, the Guardians hitters have a 3.5 star average matchup against Feltner, so there could be some fireworks at the plate. However, matchup data is limited for some batters like Myles Straw, who has a favorable matchup but lacks recent data. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how the Guardians fare against Feltner and the Rockies pitching staff.
Rangers vs Luke Weaver
The Texas Rangers are taking on the Cincinnati Reds, and they have some intriguing matchups to consider. Marcus Semien is projected to bat first and is a top-tier option for the day. He has had great success against right-handers who have difficulty containing power hitters like him, making him a great choice.
Nathaniel Lowe, batting third, has also been crushing bottom-tier right-handers lately, with a .416 wOBA and seven homers in his last 119 plate appearances. Adolis Garcia, batting cleanup, has been another power-hitting righty who has found success against these types of pitchers, with an impressive .366 wOBA and eight homers in his last 138 plate appearances.
Third baseman Josh Jung is projected to bat fifth and has struggled against right-handers with high flyball rates, making him a risky choice for the day. Catcher Jonah Heim is projected to bat sixth, and although matchup data is limited, he has a slight advantage. Travis Jankowski is projected to bat second, but his Well-Hit Rate against fastballs is significantly below the league average, making him a risky choice for the day.
Leody Taveras is projected to bat ninth and is coming off a hot streak with an OPS of 1.005 in his last 13 at-bats. Robbie Grossman, batting seventh, has been struggling lately, batting just .211 in his last 57 at-bats. Josh Smith, projected to bat eighth, has limited matchup data but appears to have a slight advantage. Brad Miller, who is projected to bat seventh, has struggled against bottom-tier right-handers, so he is a risky choice. Finally, Ezequiel Duran is projected to bat sixth or higher and has limited matchup data, but it appears to be in his favor.
Overall, the Texas Rangers hitters have a favorable matchup against Luke Weaver, with a 3.5 star average matchup rating. Consider Semien, Lowe, and Garcia for top-tier options, while Taveras and Smith may be intriguing value options for the day. Be cautious with Jung, Jankowski, Grossman, Miller, and Duran, who all have limited or risky matchup data.
