## 1. Andy Pages (LAD) vs Paul Skenes (RHP)

0.667 AVG, 2.167 OPS in 6 career AB | PNC Park | **1+ Hit (-232)**

*Career: 4-for-6 · .667 · 1 HR · 3 XBH · 2.167 OPS · 1 K*

When OPS hits 2.167 in a career H2H sample, you take it seriously. Pages is 4-for-6 against Skenes 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 (-232).

## 2. Starling Marte (KC) vs Nathan Eovaldi (RHP)

0.667 AVG, 2.083 OPS in 6 career AB | Kauffman Stadium

*Career: 4-for-6 · .667 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 2.083 OPS · 1 BB*

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace.

## 3. Marcell Ozuna (PIT) vs Eric Lauer (LHP)

0.545 AVG, 1.947 OPS in 11 career AB | PNC Park | **1+ Hit (-165)**

*Career: 6-for-11 · .545 · 3 HR · 3 XBH · 1.947 OPS · 1 BB*

History speaks plainly here: Ozuna has taken Lauer deep 3 times across 11 at-bats. The matchup is the matchup.

Moderate sample — a real pattern is emerging. Only 0 strikeouts in 11 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. 3 extra-base hits in 11 AB — when he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry.

## 4. Kyle Isbel (KC) vs Nathan Eovaldi (RHP)

0.500 AVG, 1.750 OPS in 8 career AB | Kauffman Stadium | **1+ Hit (-130)**

*Career: 2-for-5 · .400 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.700 OPS · 1 BB*

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

## 7. Alec Bohm (PHI) vs Dylan Cease (RHP)

0.500 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 6 career AB | Rogers Centre | **1+ Hit (-184)**

*Career: 6-for-9 · .667 · 1 XBH · 1.445 OPS*

A 1.445 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and II owns it against Fedde across 9 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. Only 0 strikeouts in 9 AB shows the eye is dialed in here. Currently listed at 2+ Hits (+150).
