## 1. Miguel Rojas (LAD) vs Eduardo Rodriguez (LHP)

0.750 AVG, 1.653 OPS in 8 career AB | Chase Field | **1+ Hit (-193)**

*Career: 6-for-8 · .750 · 1 XBH · 1.653 OPS · 1 BB*

A 1.653 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Rojas owns it against Rodriguez across 8 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Only 0 strikeouts in 8 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. Played at Chase Field, which plays hitter-friendly with the roof closed.

## 2. Freddie Freeman (LAD) vs Eduardo Rodriguez (LHP)

0.588 AVG, 1.541 OPS in 17 career AB | Chase Field | **2+ Hits (+162)**

*Career: 10-for-17 · .588 · 1 HR · 4 XBH · 1.541 OPS · 4 K · 2 BB*

Freeman's slash line against Rodriguez translates to a 1.541 OPS over 17 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play.

Moderate sample — a real pattern is emerging. 4 extra-base hits in 17 AB — when he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry. 2 walks in 17 AB show he reads this arm well even when he is not swinging.

## 3. Spencer Torkelson (DET) vs Griffin Jax (RHP)

0.500 AVG, 1.445 OPS in 10 career AB | Tropicana Field | **1+ Hit (-128)**

*Career: 5-for-10 · .500 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.445 OPS · 3 K · 1 BB*

Torkelson's slash line against Jax translates to a 1.445 OPS over 10 AB. That is the kind of split that turns a prop into a play.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 10 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-128).

## 4. Kerry Carpenter (DET) vs Griffin Jax (RHP)

0.400 AVG, 1.400 OPS in 5 career AB | Tropicana Field | **1+ Hit (-145)**

*Career: 2-for-5 · .400 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.400 OPS · 2 K*

.400 is a real number when it holds up over 5 at-bats. Carpenter sees something against Jax that other hitters do not.

Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. A home run every 5 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-145).

## 5. Nick Madrigal (LAA) vs Kyle Freeland (LHP)

0.571 AVG, 1.285 OPS in 7 career AB | Angel Stadium | **1+ Hit (-199)**

*Career: 4-for-7 · .571 · 1 XBH · 1.285 OPS*

A 1.285 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Madrigal owns it against Freeland across 7 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-199).

## 6. Andrew Benintendi (CWS) vs Joe Ryan (RHP)

0.409 AVG, 1.162 OPS in 22 career AB | Target Field | **1+ Hit (-181)**

*Career: 9-for-22 · .409 · 1 HR · 4 XBH · 1.162 OPS · 1 BB*

When OPS hits 1.162 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Benintendi is 9-for-22 against Ryan with the kind of contact that drives runs.

Solid sample size — this is a reliable edge. Only 0 strikeouts in 22 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. 4 extra-base hits in 22 AB — when he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry.

## 7. Logan O'Hoppe (LAA) vs Kyle Freeland (LHP)

0.333 AVG, 1.166 OPS in 6 career AB | Angel Stadium | **1+ Hit (-176)**

*Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.166 OPS · 2 K*

When OPS hits 1.166 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. O'Hoppe is 2-for-6 against Freeland with the kind of contact that drives runs.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-176).

## 8. James Wood (WSH) vs Sandy Alcantara (RHP)

0.333 AVG, 0.833 OPS in 6 career AB | Nationals Park | **1+ Hit (-256)**

*Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 XBH · 0.833 OPS*

Career batting average against Alcantara: .333 in 6 AB. Wood has the kind of pitch recognition on this arm that does not show up against the rest of the league.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-256).
