Ozzie Albies vs Mitch Keller

The Almanac's Take

Albies bats from the left side against Keller's right hand, so the platoon edge is real here. Season-long, Albies is hitting .268/.320/.433 with 13 home runs across 378 PA — a functional, if unspectacular, line from a switch-hitter getting the favorable look. Keller has been genuinely hittable this year: 5.14 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 13 home runs surrendered in just over 103 innings, with a 6.7 K/9 that doesn't scare anyone. The head-to-head is only 20 PA, so treat it as texture — 4 hits, 1 homer, 91.0 mph average exit velocity, which at least confirms Albies makes hard contact when they've met.
