Francisco Lindor (NYM) vs Bryce Elder (RHP) 0.462 AVG, 1.577 OPS in 13 career AB | Truist Park | **1+ Hit (minus 204)** *Career: 6-for-13 · .462 · 2 HR · 4 XBH · 1.577 OPS · 1 K · 2 BB* When OPS hits 1.577 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Lindor is 6-for-13 against Elder with the kind of contact that drives runs. Moderate sample, and a real pattern is emerging. A home run every 7 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 13 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. Bottom line: Lindor owns this matchup against Elder. I'm on his hit prop tonight. ## 2. Nathan Lukes (TOR) vs Sonny Gray (RHP) 0.333 AVG, 1.333 OPS in 6 career AB | Rogers Centre | **1+ Hit (minus 212)** *Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.333 OPS* When OPS hits 1.333 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously.

Michael Harris II (ATL) vs Christian Scott (RHP) 0.500 AVG, 1.375 OPS in 8 career AB | Truist Park | **2+ Hits (+200)** *Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.375 OPS · 1 K* A 1.375 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare, and II owns it against Scott across 8 at bats. That is run producing dominance, not noise. Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 8 at bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Only 1 strikeout in 8 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. When the sample says this much, you trust it. II has Scott's number.
