Tigers left hander Eduardo Rodriguez is a reverse splits lefty. This means he’s actually worse against same handed hitters than opposite handed hitters. Generally, it’s the other way around, and Lefties are better vs Lefty batters, but that’s not the case with Rodriguez.
Since the start of the 2021 season, Rodriguez has allowed a 346 woba 213 iso and 40% hard contact rate against left handed hitters. He has a very good 30% strikeout rate vs lefties however, so, keep that in mind before you load up on Mariners lefty bats here
The Mariners don’t really have any left handed hitters that I love, so, I’ll just focus on their right handers who CRUSH left handed pitching below
Eugenio Suarez is one of those hitters who loves facing left handed pitching. Over the last 30 days he has a 447 xwoba 345 iso and 58% hard contact rate vs lefties
Mitch Haniger continues to stay hot since his return from the DL. Over his last 30 days he has a 498 xwoba 143 iso and 70% (yes 70%) hard contact rate against left handed pitching
These two will anchor my Mariners stacks on this small 4 game slate. Feel free to mix in Julio Rodriguez, Ty France and Sam Haggerty as you see fit
