Brenton Doyle vs Andrew Abbott

The Almanac's Take

Doyle gets the platoon edge as a right-handed bat against Abbott's left-handed delivery, but his season line makes that edge hard to lean on — .165/.250/.227 with a 35.2% strikeout rate in 108 PA is a rough profile against anyone. Abbott isn't overwhelming at 7.3 K/9 and a 1.39 WHIP, but his 4.1 BB/9 at least keeps Doyle's 10.2% walk rate relevant. The 12 PA of head-to-head history is too thin to weight — a .400 average over a dozen trips is noise, not signal. The season read here is cautious on Doyle regardless of the platoon.
