Riley Greene vs Kris Bubic

The Almanac's Take

Riley Greene is hitting .317/.401/.872 through 60 games, one of the cleaner slash lines in the league this side of the All-Star break, but the platoon edge flips against Bubic — lefty-on-lefty removes Greene's conventional advantage. Bubic's 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 50 innings are respectable, and his 4.6 BB/9 means free bases are available, which matters given Greene's 12.3% walk rate. The 15-PA head-to-head (.538, 7 hits) is too thin to weight seriously — treat it as a footnote. This one comes down to whether Greene's strong contact season (.471 slugging) can overcome the same-hand disadvantage.
