Wilyer Abreu vs Cam Schlittler

The Almanac's Take

Abreu gets the platoon edge here as a lefty against Schlittler's right arm, and his .799 OPS with 15 home runs across 409 plate appearances gives that edge real weight. The problem is Schlittler is genuinely tough — a 2.20 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 10.6 K/9 over 123 innings isn't a small sample fluke, and his 5.8 K/BB ratio means the walk rate (1.8 BB/9) isn't papering over control problems. The 12 PA of head-to-head history is essentially noise — one hit and five strikeouts tells you almost nothing. Abreu's 10.0 walk rate suggests he can work counts, but Schlittler's arsenal is built to miss bats even against same-side matchup disadvantages.
