Masyn Winn vs Paul Skenes

The Almanac's Take

Winn enters this without a platoon edge — both he and Skenes are right-handed — and his season line does nothing to change that read: a .234/.300/.323 slash with a 22.3% strikeout rate in 220 PA. Skenes, meanwhile, is running a 0.90 WHIP and 7.2 K/BB through 64.2 innings, and his 10.0 K/9 is a real problem for a contact-dependent hitter already striking out at Winn's clip. The head-to-head is just 20 PA — 3-for-20 with five strikeouts and an 87.9 mph average exit velocity — which is noise, not signal. Everything here points the same direction.
