The Almanac's Take

Three games on the board, and the sharpest read is Boston's lineup against Shane McClanahan — a .210 lineup OPS edge over neutral, seven hitters with platoon advantage against a lefty, and a "favors_hitters" label that stands alone on the slate. That's the stack worth building around today. Over in the Bronx, the Dodgers post a .812 lineup OPS against Cam Schlittler with six platoon advantages and a "favors_hitters" tag — the second-cleanest hitter-side read available. Yamamoto faces a .738 Yankees lineup (neutral), and Ryan McMahon is 1-for-10 against him lifetime — small sample, footnote only. The Toronto-Chicago game is the quietest matchup on the page.

How to read this page

Primary read is the lineup strength block — season OPS, lineup K%, and platoon-edge count across the opposing lineup. When enough Statcast PA is on file, the lineup composite vs the pitcher's hand sits alongside it.

Career head-to-head reads as color, not edge. PA count travels with every H2H number on this page so a 4-for-7 sample looks like the small sample it is. The “notable H2H” highlight list is filtered to PA ≥ 10 for that reason.
