The Dodgers will be sending right hander Michael Grove to the hill tonight vs the Diamondbacks. This season Grove has a 6.28 xfip and a 14.9% strikeout rate in limited action. He has allowed a 425 woba and a 39% hard contact rate to left handed hitters, while also allowing a 37% fly ball rate and 45% hard contact rate vs right handed hitters. As I said, the sample size is small here, but, I think we can attack him with some D’Backs bats tonight
Over the last 30 days the D’Backs have been hot vs right handed pitching, below I will list a few of my favorites and their key metrics vs right handed pitching in this time frame
Daulton Varsho – 419 xwoba 311 iso
Christian Walker – 502 xwoba 247 iso
Jake McCarthy – 453 xwoba 246 iso
Corbin Carroll – 669 xwoba 286 iso
These 4 hitters will be my build arounds in my D’Backs stacks this evening. You can see by their high xwOBA and ISO numbers that they’ve shown great power vs right handed pitching over the last 30 days
