Steven Kwan vs Drew Rasmussen

The Almanac's Take

Kwan gets the platoon edge here as a lefty against Rasmussen's right hand, but his season line tells a complicated story — .209/.323/.582 OPS across 235 PA, with the value sitting almost entirely in his 14.5% walk rate rather than any real contact damage. Rasmussen has been sharp at 3.36 ERA, 1.0 WHIP, and a 4.58 K/BB over 59 innings, so the walks Kwan lives on may not materialize at the usual clip. The head-to-head is 10 PA — three hits, a walk, no strikeouts — interesting texture but nowhere near meaningful. This matchup hinges on whether Kwan's eye survives a pitcher who rarely gives free passes.
