Cubs lefty Drew Smyly has had some really good and really bad games this year. I’m banking on a bad one here vs the Brewers who have a few guys who mash left handed pitching. Since the 2021 season Drew Smyly has allowed a 334 woba 195 iso 39% fly ball rate and 41% hard contact rate to right handed hitters. Against left handed hitters, he has been equally bad, allowing a 332 woba 217 iso 38% fly ball rate and 43% hard contact rate.
Hunter Renfroe is great vs left handed pitchers and his numbers since 2021 prove that out. Since 2021 he has a 452 xwoba 239 iso and 43% hard contact rate against lefties.
Andrew McCutchen isn’t the player he once was, but, he’s still great against left handed pitching. Since 2021 Cutch has a 422 xwoba 294 iso and 51% hard contact rate vs lefties
Willy Adames can be added to your Brewers stack, as he’s been solid since 2021 vs lefties. Since 2021 he has a 443 xwoba 205 iso and 46% hard contact rate
If you need a GPP flyer, take a look at Rowdy Tellez. He’s a left handed hitter so most people will go another direction in the lefty vs lefty matchup. Smyly allows a 217 vs lefties however, and Tellez has a 44% hard contact vs left handed pitchers since 2021 so he could take Smyly deep here.
