## 1. Masyn Winn (STL) vs Brady Singer (RHP)

0.400 AVG, 1.700 OPS in 5 career AB | Great American Ball Park | **1+ Hit (-222)**

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

Winn is 2-for-5 (.400) lifetime against Singer. He sees this pitcher well and the at-bats keep coming back as hits.

Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. A home run every 5 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Played at Great American Ball Park, a hitter-friendly environment.

## 2. Trevor Larnach (MIN) vs Sonny Gray (RHP)

0.500 AVG, 1.750 OPS in 8 career AB | Fenway Park | **1+ Hit (-187)**

*Career: 4-for-8 · .500 · 2 HR · 2 XBH · 1.750 OPS · 3 K*

A 1.750 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Larnach owns it against Gray across 8 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise.

Small sample, but the dominance is notable. A home run every 4 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Played at Fenway Park, where the Green Monster inflates extra-base hit rates.

## 3. Alec Burleson (STL) vs Brady Singer (RHP)

0.429 AVG, 1.518 OPS in 7 career AB | Great American Ball Park | **2+ Hits (+185)**

*Career: 3-for-7 · .429 · 1 HR · 3 XBH · 1.518 OPS · 1 K*

Burleson's slash line against Singer translates to a 1.518 OPS over 7 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 7 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Played at Great American Ball Park, a hitter-friendly environment.

## 4. George Springer (TOR) vs Mitch Keller (RHP)

0.400 AVG, 1.500 OPS in 5 career AB | Rogers Centre | **1+ Hit (-227)**

*Career: 2-for-5 · .400 · 1 HR · 1 XBH · 1.500 OPS*

.400 is a real number when it holds up over 5 at-bats. Springer sees something against Keller 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 (-227).

## 5. Jarren Duran (BOS) vs Bailey Ober (RHP)

0.333 AVG, 1.333 OPS in 6 career AB | Fenway Park | **1+ Hit (-247)**

*Career: 2-for-6 · .333 · 1 HR · 2 XBH · 1.333 OPS*

Duran's slash line against Ober translates to a 1.333 OPS over 6 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 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. Played at Fenway Park, where the Green Monster inflates extra-base hit rates.

## 6. Vinnie Pasquantino (KC) vs Bryan Woo (RHP)

0.400 AVG, 1.400 OPS in 5 career AB | Kauffman Stadium | **1+ Hit (-230)**

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

Pasquantino is 2-for-5 (.400) lifetime against Woo. He sees this pitcher well and the at-bats keep coming back as hits.

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 (-230).

## 7. Brandon Lowe (PIT) vs Dylan Cease (RHP)

0.417 AVG, 1.583 OPS in 12 career AB | Rogers Centre | **1+ Hit (-170)**

*Career: 5-for-12 · .417 · 2 HR · 3 XBH · 1.583 OPS · 5 K · 2 BB*

A 1.583 career OPS against a single pitcher is rare — and Lowe owns it against Cease across 12 at-bats. That is run-producing dominance, not noise.

Moderate sample — a real pattern is emerging. A home run every 6 at-bats in this matchup is well above league pace. 3 extra-base hits in 12 AB — when he connects, the ball gets out of the infield in a hurry.

## 8. Luke Raley (SEA) vs Seth Lugo (RHP)

0.600 AVG, 1.467 OPS in 5 career AB | Kauffman Stadium | **1+ Hit (-141)**

*Career: 3-for-5 · .600 · 1 XBH · 1.467 OPS · 1 K · 1 BB*

Career batting average against Lugo: .600 in 5 AB. Raley has the kind of pitch recognition on this arm that does not show up against the rest of the league.

Tiny sample — treat as directional, not definitive. Currently listed at 1+ Hit (-141).

Always confirm lineups and starting pitchers before placing any bets. A different arm on the mound changes the entire matchup profile, and career sample size matters. Matchups with 10 or more at bats carry significantly more weight than those with only five or six.
